Peter Ticktin, an 80-year-old South Florida lawyer and Donald Trump’s former New York Military Academy classmate, has advised the president to issue an executive order seizing control of November’s midterm elections.
Ticktin claims foreign interference constitutes an election emergency justifying presidential action. He has drafted an executive order outline and circulated a 17-page memo in conservative circles proposing the takeover, though he denies writing the longer document. Ticktin promotes election conspiracy theories spanning Venezuela, Michigan, and China, claiming that a Belgrade data center’s disabling in 2024 enabled Trump’s win.
Ticktin advocates banning voting machines and implementing hand-counted paper ballots. Other Trump allies, including Michael Flynn and Jerome Corsi, have similarly urged election control. White House lawyer Kurt Olsen and Homeland Security official Heath Honey participated in related meetings. Ticktin has represented Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and election-denying county clerk Tina Peters.
