Gov Abbott is pushing back on the idea of "nationalizing" elections.

Abbott breaks with Trump over president’s call to nationalize elections

At a recent campaign event in Houston in which he touted the endorsement of several labor unions, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was asked directly about Trump's suggestions to nationalize elections.

"Listen, my understanding of the United States Constitution, uh, and that is elections for state positions are to be conducted by states, and I don’t think we should deviate from that," Abbott said.

Maybe the Govs are pushing back on Trump the God's centralization of power, because they are afraid what might happen if a Dem had that much power? But maybe they don't realize the days of "free and fair" elections are over?
