Trump on Monday declared that the Republican Party should “nationalize the voting” in the US and take away individual states’ power to administer their elections.

While speaking with Dan Bongino, a former FBI deputy director and current podcaster, Trump rehashed the false allegations he’s made in the past about Democrats only winning elections through the help of undocumented immigrants.

“These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally!” Trump falsely claimed. “Amazing that the Republicans aren’t tougher on it. The Republicans should say… ‘We should take over the voting in at least… 15 places.’ The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
