Attorneys have drafted an executive order, urging President Trump to declare a national emergency over voting.

Factcheck: Yes, reports from WaPo, ABC News & others confirm: pro-Trump attorneys (incl. Peter Ticktin) circulated a 17-page draft EO. It cites unsubstantiated 2020 China interference claims to justify a national emergency, aiming to mandate voter ID/hand-counted ballots & ban mail-in voting for midterms. Activists say they coordinated w/ White House; sources say Trump reviewed versions. Today Trump said he’s never heard of it. The “jam_croissant was right” link is interpretive—his June ’25 warning was broader on crises/martial law.
