Democratic governors accuse Trump of 'openly talking about rigging' elections

President Trump is not backing off his assertions that the Republican Party should take control of the vote in at least 15 states. He repeated the comments in a Wednesday interview. But White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that's not exactly what he meant. "The president is suggesting — and I just spoke to him about this — is that Republicans and Democrats in Congress should pass the Save America Act. This piece of legislation is going to ensure that states are abiding by federal election law by removing noncitizens from their voter rolls. In addition, the Save America Act will require voter ID to vote and it will require proof of citizenship to register to vote." It is at least the second time this week that the press secretary has had to contradict the president's words. Democratic governors on Thursday released a joint statement saying Americans have the right to vote without interference from the federal government. They said "while Trump whines about losing a free and fair election, he's now openly talking about breaking the next one." ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
