7. Yes I know it's from bluesky. But it doesn't lead anywhere confirmatory.

Brennan Center is a reputable source on its own, but says nothing about a recent executive order draft that I can find.

There was a draft EO Trump made in 2021 before he left office that has the same gist, and the community note referenced it. Politico has it here:
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/21/read-the-never-issued-trump-order-that-would-have-seized-voting-machines-527572

I think you should delete. There's enough real stuff to worry about without quoting some guy on the Internet who did a screenshot of another guy on the Internet with his own agenda and is obviously lying, per his "source" post.

ETA: I would love to see a post just about the Brennan Center article and/or the old Politico one. Good information there and I hadn't seen either.
