US President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to "nationalise" elections and repeated his false claims of 2020 election fraud in a new podcast interview.
American elections are primarily run by state law, and voting has long been administered by local officials across the country.
"The Republicans should say: 'We want to take over. We should take over the voting in at least 15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalise the voting," Trump said during an appearance on the podcast of his former deputy FBI director, Dan Bongino.
His remarks come days after the FBI raided an elections office in Georgia to examine voting records from the 2020 election.
In the interview, Trump did not name the "15 places" where he thought Republicans should "nationalise" voting.
