华盛顿 — 周一，总统特朗普暗示共和党人应该”全国化”投票流程，这是他和其政府在2026年中期选举前进一步介入联邦选举的最新升级动作。
在接受前联邦调查局副局长丹·邦吉诺播客采访时，特朗普重申他的说法：在美国非法居留者正在联邦选举中投票，并敦促共和党人至少在15个州”接管选举”。
“共和党人应该说，’我们要接管（选举），’”特朗普周一表示，”共和党人应该将选举全国化。然后我们会看到有些州非常腐败，他们在计票。”
一天后，特朗普在椭圆形办公室活动中（身边簇拥着国会议员和内阁成员）表示：”我希望看到选举是诚实的，如果一个州无法举行公正的选举，我认为我身后的人应该采取行动。”
宪法规定：选举管理权属于各州而非总统
宪法中的选举条款赋予各州制定联邦选举规则的权力，州和地方层面的机构负责选举管理，尽管国会在特定情况下可以通过选举法规。
选举创新与研究中心执行主任、CBS新闻选举法顾问大卫·贝克尔表示，因此，总统实际上在选举监督方面几乎没有作用。
“宪法中的选举条款再明确不过了，”贝克尔周二在CBS新闻”Major Garrett的评论”节目中表示，”这实际上是开国元勋们特别划出来的一个领域，专门排除行政部门对选举的任何权力。”
周二被记者问及这些宪法限制时，特朗普回应称各州”可以管理选举，但必须公正进行”。他还将各州称为”联邦政府的代理人”，并主张联邦当局应更多介入。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特周二早些时候告诉CBS新闻资深白宫记者魏嘉江，特朗普”相信美国宪法”，但也认为存在”大量欺诈和违规行为”。
特朗普试图扩大对选举的控制
总统指责民主党允许其所在州的无证件移民投票以增强支持，并多次无证据声称2020年选举充满欺诈。
他的竞选团队和共和党盟友提起的数十起试图推翻2020年选举结果的诉讼均被驳回，特朗普第一任司法部长比尔·巴尔表示司法部未发现广泛欺诈的证据。
尽管如此，特朗普及其政府仍在努力加强对选举的控制。总统去年签署行政命令，旨在全面改革选举，包括要求登记投票时提供公民身份证明文件。非公民在联邦选举中投票属犯罪行为，违者最高可判一年监禁。
但该指令面临多项法律挑战，包括公民身份证明条款在内的部分内容已被联邦法官驳回。
根据布伦南司法中心数据，司法部还要求几乎所有州和华盛顿特区提供完整的选民登记名单，并就24个州和哥伦比亚特区拒绝移交包括选民地址、出生日期和部分社保号码在内的记录提起诉讼。
特朗普还敦促共和党州议员重新划分国会选区边界，以帮助共和党保持众议院多数席位。得克萨斯州采用新的选举边界，旨在为共和党增加5个众议院席位，加利福尼亚州则通过自己的计划，使5个席位更有利于民主党。其他几个州也已着手重新制定国会选区地图。
上周，联邦调查局对佐治亚州富尔顿县选举办公室执行搜查令，没收了2020年总统选举的选票。特朗普多次无证据声称，在他输给拜登的佐治亚州，2020年总统选举”被操纵”。
特朗普告诉邦吉诺，”关于佐治亚州，你会看到一些有趣的事情出现”，并再次无证据断言自己赢得了2020年选举。
联邦调查局的搜查行动以及国家情报总监图尔西·加巴德出现在现场，引发国会山民主党人担忧。加巴德周一致信国会议员称，特朗普要求她出现在富尔顿县选举中心的搜查现场。她还承认协助亚特兰大联邦调查局探员与总统进行通话，并表示特朗普想”亲自感谢探员们的工作”。加巴德称总统未提问也未下达指令。
《纽约时报》周一早些时候报道称，加巴德帮助安排了特朗普与联邦调查局探员在搜查后的通话。
特朗普还支持《SAVE法案》（SAVE即”确保美国选民身份和选举安全”），该法案由国会共和党人支持，要求州选举官员对登记投票者进行面对面公民身份证明。利维特周二表示，特朗普关于”接管选举”的言论正是指该立法。
“特朗普总统非常关心选举的安全，这就是为什么他敦促国会通过《SAVE法案》和其他立法提案，这些提案将建立统一的投票照片身份证明标准，禁止无理由邮寄投票，并终止选票收集做法，”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊在回应特朗普评论时表示。
国会共和党人反对选举全国化
总统”选举全国化”的呼吁遭到国会山共和党领袖的反对。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉记者，虽然他支持要求投票时提供照片身份证明的计划，但不赞成将选举联邦化。
“我非常相信权力分散，我认为攻击50个选举系统比攻击一个系统更难，”他在国会山对记者表示，”所以在我看来，这个系统一直运行得很好。”
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊也为各州管理选举的制度辩护，称特朗普只是”表达了对选举完整性的担忧”。
“只要各州优先确保选举完整性，这个系统就运行良好，坦率地说，我们对一些没有做好这一点的蓝州确实有担忧，”他对记者表示，”这就是总统的立场——他在表达这种担忧。我们都有同感，正在寻找解决方案。”

Trump suggests Republicans should nationalize voting. Here’s what to know.
February 3, 2026 / 6:18 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — President Trump suggested Monday that Republicans should “nationalize” voting, the latest escalation in his and his administration’s efforts to step into federal elections ahead of the 2026 midterms.
During a podcast interview with former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino, Mr. Trump repeated his claims that people who are in the U.S. illegally are voting in federal elections and urged Republicans to “take over the voting” in at least 15 states.
“The Republicans should say, ‘we want to take over,’” Mr. Trump said Monday. “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. And then we have states that are so crooked, and they’re counting votes.”
A day later, Mr. Trump said in an Oval Office event, while flanked by lawmakers and members of his Cabinet: “I want to see elections be honest, and if a state can’t run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it.”
Constitution gives states — not the president — the power to run elections
The Constitution’s Elections Clause gives states the authority to set the rules for federal elections, and offices at the state and local levels oversee their administration, though Congress can pass election regulations in certain cases.
As a result, the president has virtually no role in overseeing elections, said David Becker, a CBS News election law contributor and the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research.
“The Elections Clause of the Constitution couldn’t be any more clear,” Becker said on CBS News’ “The Takeout with Major Garrett” on Tuesday. “It’s actually one of the areas the Founders carved out, specifically to exclude the executive from any power over elections.”
Asked by reporters Tuesday about those constitutional limits, Mr. Trump said states “can administer the election, but they have to do it honestly.” He also referred to states as “agents of the federal government” and argued that federal authorities should be more involved.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang earlier Tuesday that Mr. Trump “believes in the United States Constitution,” but also believes there has been “a lot of fraud and irregularities.”
Trump moves to expand control over elections
The president has accused Democrats of allowing undocumented immigrants in their states to vote in order to bolster their support, and claimed repeatedly, without evidence, that the 2020 election was rife with fraud.
Dozens of lawsuits filed by his campaign and GOP allies that sought to overturn the 2020 election results were dismissed, and Bill Barr, who served as attorney general in Mr. Trump’s first term, said the Justice Department did not uncover any evidence of widespread fraud.
Still, Mr. Trump and his administration have undertaken efforts to exert more control over elections. The president signed an executive order last year that aimed to overhaul elections, including by requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. It is a crime for noncitizens to vote in federal elections and violators face up to a year in prison.
But the directive faced several legal challenges, and portions of it, including the proof-of-citizenship provisions, have been blocked by federal judges.
The Justice Department has also demanded complete voter registration lists from nearly every state and Washington, D.C., according to the Brennan Center for Justice. It has filed lawsuits against two dozen states and the District of Columbia for refusing to hand over the records, which include voters’ addresses, birth dates and partial Social Security numbers.
Mr. Trump also urged Republican state lawmakers to redraw their congressional district lines to help the GOP hold onto its majority in the House. After Texas adopted new voting boundaries that aimed to give Republicans five additional House seats, California approved its own plan to make five seats more favorable to Democrats. Several other states have also moved to recraft their congressional maps.
Then, last week, the FBI executed a search warrant at a Fulton County, Georgia, elections office and seized ballots from the 2020 presidential election. Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, where he lost to former President Joe Biden, was “rigged” against him.
The president told Bongino that “you’re going to see some interesting things come in” regarding Georgia, and again asserted without evidence that he won the 2020 election.
The FBI’s search, as well as the presence of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the scene, raised alarms among Democrats on Capitol Hill. Gabbard told lawmakers in a letter Monday that Mr. Trump requested she be at the search of the Fulton County elections hub. She also acknowledged facilitating a phone call between FBI agents in Atlanta and the president, and said Mr. Trump wanted to “thank the agents personally for their work.” Gabbard said the president did not ask any questions and did not issue any directives.
The New York Times had reported earlier Monday that Gabbard helped arrange the call between Mr. Trump and FBI agents after the search.
Mr. Trump has also backed the SAVE Act, a bill backed by congressional Republicans that would require state election officials to get in-person proof of citizenship from people registering to vote. Leavitt said Tueday the president’s comments on taking over elections referred to that legislation.
“President Trump cares deeply about the safety and security of our elections — that’s why he’s urged Congress to pass the SAVE Act and other legislative proposals that would establish a uniform standard of photo ID for voting, prohibit no-excuse mail-in voting, and end the practice of ballot harvesting,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said in response to Mr. Trump’s comments.
Congressional Republicans push back on nationalizing elections
The president’s call to “nationalize elections” is facing pushback from Republican leaders on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that while he backs a plan to require photo identification to vote, he does not favor federalizing elections.
“I’m a big believer in decentralized and distributing power, and I think it’s harder to hack 50 election systems than it is to hack one,” he told reporters on Capitol Hill. “So in my view, that’s always a system that’s worked quite well.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson also defended the system of states administering elections and said Mr. Trump was “expressing frustration” about election integrity.
“It’s a system that works well, so long as the states make it a priority to ensure the integrity of our elections, and we have real concerns about some of the blue states, frankly, that have not been doing that well,” he told reporters. “So that’s the president’s — he’s expressing that frustration. We all have it. We’re looking for solutions.”
