    county with the biggest population....


    Just in: Maricopa County supervisors vote unanimously to spend up to $480K on an election audit.

    Two independent reviews, to be commissioned through RFPs:
    80K - election technology
    400K - election processes

    Recorder's Office will participate, along with Elections Department.

    NEW: Trump's cuts to CISA, the federal cybersecurity agency that helps protects elections, have ended key training and services for local election officials.

    "We may lose one of the most vital services," Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes told Democracy Docket.

    NEW: CISA, the federal agency responsible for the nation’s cybersecurity, officially cut funding to support state and local election offices. A CISA spokesperson told Democracy Docket the slashed program "no longer effectuates department priorities.” https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/cybersecurity-agency-ends-support-to-election-security-program/

    The Democratic Party filed a lawsuit to block an executive order that would give President Trump power over the Federal Election Commission. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/democrats-sue-trump-control-federal-election-commission/

    of course it did.


    The Justice Department dropped its lawsuit claiming that Texas’ congressional and legislative maps violate the Voting Rights Act. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/trumps-doj-withdraws-claims-in-texas-redistricting-lawsuit/

    Exactly that’s why this administration is doing all the shady stuff they already have a game plan on manipulating the elections, why would they do all of this and have a Democrat win in 28 just to reverse all of what has been destroyed?

    First indicator are the midterms in 2026 to tighten the screws on 2028. JD Byryder and Donny, Jr. for the coronation.

    Here is the full transcript (via @BrianStelter) of Kristen Welker’s interview with Donald Trump where he discusses a third term in office —

    Welker: “Have you been presented with any potential plans that would allow you to serve a third term?”

    Trump: “Well, there are plans. There are – not plans. There are, there are methods which you could do it, as you know.”

    “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice“

    is poorly written and does not mean what you are implying.

    The "method" is a Constitutional amendment.  Which would be nearly impossible to pull off, particularly in three years.  Then of course they will bring up that "well, what if JD is elected president and Trump VP and then he'll just make all of the decisions".  Well the 12thA cares for that with "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

    It's all smoke and mirrors. One thing I will give trump is his ability to gaslight.

    It's all to distract from Signalgate and move the headlines.

    Appointing trump president immediately before he serves as VP would possibly solve both the 12 th and 22nd since he would neither have served as VP nor elected to a third term.

    Admittedly a wild scenario but the amendments are vague enough to allow Vance to appoint trump to an enhanced DOGE role and allow him to sit in the Oval, “while these serious constitutional matters are being sorted by the courts. 

    Of course this gets minimum three votes on the big court.

    Hopefully not, but what’s stopping Vance from giving trump an enhanced DOGE position, a bully pulpit, and implementing all of his ideas? Red and purple state voters?

    Will Donald Trump live long enough for a third term to be an issue? Probably 50/50.

    Will there be a successful constitutional amendment to undo the 22nd Amendment (or, rather to change it for Trump while "Obama-proofing" it?) Almost certainly not.

    Will Donald Trump, if he's still alive, start a third term? Probably. At that point the constitution will be a cute relic of our past. He's going to die in office. The only question is when.

    They aren't vague.  A president cannot "appoint" another person president.  

    Nothing prevents him from being a senior advisor or acting in an authoritative role. However, reality and sanity would say if Vance was elected president, he's not going to just abdicate his authority.  At that point, he has all of the power.  No one is giving that away.

    Assuming he's alive, it'll be interesting to see the MAGA and disinformation source response to his continued hints that he should remain in office (which we know he'll make). I'm old enough to remember when the most intellectually dishonest partisans would never stand for such a thing. But things have changed.

    Then it'll be interesting to see who tries to make it happen either by offering flimsy legal loopholes, trying to amend the constitution, or just saying "fuck the constitution; we need Daddy Trump."
