President Donald Trump this week again suggested that the federal government should intervene if a state was unable to properly organize its elections and guarantee their security.

The comments followed an FBI raid on a Georgia election hub in connection with a criminal probe of the 2020 election. Trump has long insisted that he legitimately won the state that year but that fraud had affected the outcome.

“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,” he said, according to The Hill. “Because if you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections."

Trump previously called to "nationalize" elections, leading to considerable backlash. 

His 2020 election fraud claims primarily took aim at Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona, though nearly every swing state faced allegations of mass fraud.
