Pritzker: Trump’s Goal Is Use Military to Confiscate Ballot Boxes to Steal 2026 Elections

Pam Key 7 Oct 2025

On Monday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said that the Trump administration was normalizing the presence of the military in cities, allowing them to use these forces to confiscate ballot boxes and recount votes to alter unfavorable results of the 2026 midterm elections.

Pritzker said, “The broader goal, I believe, is the militarization of major American cities before the 2026 elections. Let me be clear about what’s going on on the streets of Chicago. They have dressed ICE and CBP in fatigues, put them in military gear, including with automatic weapons, and had them marching up and down major streets in downtown Chicago. It’s a signal that they’re trying to send that it’s okay to have troops on your street, that this would be a welcome thing for for people who live in Chicago. Nobody here welcomes it, by the way. I mean, literally as they’re walking down the street, people are yelling at them, but they think they can get people used to the idea.”

He added, “Next year, I fear that what they’re going to do is deploy these folks eventually to polling places and say they’re protecting the vote. Donald Trump knows that without shenanigans and without this, these breaches of the Constitution, that he’s going to lose the Congress. And if he loses, he’s going to immediately in the aftermath of the election, do what he said he might do in 2020, which is use the military to confiscate the ballot boxes and count the votes, claiming that there’s fraud. Remember, he’s called up all 50 states election data to the Department of Justice because they want to review all 50 states for fraud, and they won’t tell you exactly what they’re going to do but I fear that these are all connected.”

After what happened on January 6, 2021, anything is possible.

All sides are desperate to obtain and maintain absolutist dictatorial government.

The pendulum of autocracy keeps swinging further and further to both extremes.

When I was kid, it only took 50+1 votes in the US Senate to pass legislation.  Back then, there was only a speaking Filibuster.  Maybe we should return to that.  I doubt it.  Neither party wants to give up the power to obstruct the other party's President with a Senate minority.  Tyranny of the minority.

Behar: Trump Will Use the National Guard to ‘Stop the Next Election’

Pam Key 7 Oct 2025

Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar predicted President Donald Trump would use the National Guard to “stop the next election.”

Discussing the president’s deployment of National Guard to cities, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “This election came down to roughly three things: the cost of living, the border and crime. But there is a right way and a wrong way to deal with crime in American cities. So, Chicago is often pointed to. They had one weekend over the summer where there was something like 28 homicides. That’s not right. But how do you historically deal with crime in American cities in a way that doesn’t escalate violence? You first see if the governor and if the mayor needs law enforcement to support the existing law enforcement, you make sure it has enough funding that they have the proper training. And then if necessary, you deploy federal law enforcement.”

She added, “So this would be FBI and other trained law enforcement who deal with these kind of crimes to work with local officials.  Instead, what you have is the federal government not working with the state officials and then jumping to this degree step, which is bringing in the National Guard or, God forbid, the U.S. military. It’s not the way to address the problem if it even is as significant as it is. There is crime in American cities, but the way to deal with it is get the funding that you need for police, get the training that you need, and work with local officials.”

Behar said, “This is a pretext to stop the next election. That’s what I think it is.”

DHS takes on Pritzker's 'Smorgasbord of Lies,' releases list debunking his claims

Federal response comes as Democrat governor and Chicago mayor file lawsuit to block National Guard deployment
 By Greg Norman Fox News
Published October 7, 2025 1:01pm EDT

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker of serving the American public a "smorgasbord of lies" as it released a list that it says "debunks" his claims about federal law enforcement operations in Chicago.

The federal pushback comes as the Democratic governor and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson filed a lawsuit Monday to block the Trump administration from deploying hundreds of National Guard troops from Illinois and Texas in Chicago and surrounding cities. 

"Our message to JB Pritzker: Get out of your mansion and see Chicago," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "If JB Pritzker actually walked the streets of his own city, he would see domestic terrorists and violent rioters attacking police officers and the scourge of violent crime as a direct result of his own policies."

The DHS added that it "is setting the record straight about Pritzker’s lies and defending the brave men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from his smears and slander."

Those of us who see do not. Those who will not see hang on every word.

RINO huffs:
"All sides are desperate to obtain and maintain absolutist dictatorial government."

If that's the case, I'd much prefer an absolutist government of the right to one run by communists.
