Tune in for this Morning Joe segment as veteran columnist Mike Barnicle and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie address Donald Trump’s call to “nationalize” U.S. elections—with Christie positing that the Founders deliberately placed elections in the hands of the states to protect accountability and public trust, and that state-run elections help keep power closer to the people who actually vote. “I think most people think our elections are free and fair…but having one entity, the federal government, running an election, a national election, as opposed to 50 states running their elections—boy, you can see something easily done by putting your finger on the ballot, literally from the national level, and taking care of it, rigging it one time, rather than 50 states doing it in charge,” says Barnicle.
