“The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over — we should take over the voting — the voting in at least many, 15 places,’” Trump told Bongino in the interview. “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

    This has certain similarities to Bleeding Kansas.

    The conflict was characterized by years of electoral fraud, raids, assaults, and murders carried out in the Kansas Territory and neighboring Missouri by proslavery “border ruffians” and retaliatory raids carried out by antislavery “free-staters”.

    Missouri, a slave state since 1821, was populated by many settlers with Southern sympathies and pro-slavery views, some of whom tried to influence the Kansas decision by entering Kansas and claiming to be residents. The conflict was fought both politically and between civilians, where it eventually degenerated into brutal gang violence and paramilitary guerrilla warfare.
