Peter Ticktin, a respected Trump associate, urges the president to declare a national emergency and take decisive federal control of the midterm elections in response to mounting evidence of foreign interference.
Lawyer Peter Ticktin, a longtime friend and trusted ally of former President Donald Trump, is calling on the president to issue an executive order declaring a national emergency due to credible concerns about foreign interference with electronic voting machines. This bold move would empower the federal government to ensure the integrity of the 2024 midterm elections. Ticktin points to forthcoming evidence implicating countries like Venezuela, China, and Iran, and warns that the 2020 election machines represented a 'surreptitious overtaking of a country.'
Despite warnings from some election officials and legal scholars—many of whom are entrenched in the establishment—that such an order could create a constitutional dispute, Ticktin and other patriots argue that extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. The Constitution is clear about state and congressional roles, but when national security is at stake, the president must act decisively. While a 2021 U.S. intelligence assessment claimed no technical tampering, it did confirm attempts by foreign actors to influence the vote, validating the need for vigilance.
Ticktin, an 80-year-old Florida attorney with a distinguished record representing courageous figures like Tina Peters and Patrick Byrne, maintains open communication with Trump and officials at the Justice Department. While a White House official downplayed Ticktin’s influence, his commitment to election integrity is unwavering.
Previously, Ticktin helped secure justice for Peters and advocated for a $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund to protect Americans from political persecution, though the Trump administration was forced to drop the proposal under pressure from both parties. He also drafted an executive order to restrict risky mail-in voting and ban vulnerable voting machines, going further than Trump’s earlier, more limited order that activist federal judges have since blocked.
While critics—often from partisan agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the intelligence community—have dismissed concerns about foreign hacking, their assurances ring hollow in the face of mounting evidence and past failures. Ticktin’s willingness to challenge the status quo, even in contentious legal battles, demonstrates his dedication to the truth.
Ticktin’s call for emergency action comes as Trump continues his fight for common-sense voter-ID laws and election reforms, despite relentless opposition and media denial of election fraud. This is a necessary step to restore public confidence and defend American democracy from both foreign and domestic threats.
