Republicans aren't walking back anything. They are losing the ability to keep Trump on script.

He isn't calling for the federal government to nationalize the vote, he's calling for the Republican Party to nationalize the vote.
They get it right in the opening of the article but not the headline.
Is this a hint that they already bought the election voting machines?
replies:
He is afraid that a free and democratic vote will end his reign, and potentially put him behind bars. He can't afford the luxury of democracy with that prospect.
Say it with your full chest, cowards.

It's projection. They did everything they could to rig the elections in 20 and 24, so they're assuming the opposition is doing the same.
"Nationalizing" elections also gives the president control over whether or not elections happen at all. As it stands, Trump can try to announce that there will be no elections and states can tell him to pound sand.
