Democracy in America is facing a grave and escalating threat. Fulton County’s decision to sue over the FBI’s seizure of election ballots is not just a local legal dispute—it is a national alarm. Federal power is being weaponized in a dangerous attempt to relitigate a settled election and undermine public faith in the vote.
Donald Trump, still unable to accept his 2020 defeat, is openly urging Republicans to “nationalize” elections, a move that would strip states and counties of their constitutional authority. This is not reform; it is centralization by force. It is an effort to place elections under partisan federal control after voters rejected him at the ballot box.
Even more troubling is the use of taxpayer funds to pursue this obsession. Instead of protecting election workers and strengthening democratic institutions, federal resources are being diverted to chase conspiracy theories and intimidate local officials who followed the law.

History teaches us that democracy rarely collapses overnight. It is eroded step by step—through pressure, intimidation, and the normalization of abuse of power. The events in Fulton County represent one such step.
If elections can be seized, second-guessed, or federally overruled to satisfy one man’s grievances, then no future election is truly secure. Defending democracy now is not optional—it is critical.
