Trump Administration Challenges Voters and Sends Election Record Notices Ahead of MidtermsPreviousNext

In the lead-up to the US midterm elections, the Trump administration challenged voter eligibility in five states and sent letters to all 50 states reminding them to preserve election records. The Justice Department disclosed challenges to over 20,000 voters in California and more than 400 in Washington. California Governor Gavin Newsom warned federal courts about potential attempts to seize ballots, criticizing the administration's demands as based on questionable data. Legal battles continue over the administration's election-related actions and their impact on state election processes.
