Early Voting Begins in US Midterm Elections Amid Security Assurances
Early in-person voting for the US midterm elections began Friday in Virginia and a few other states, marking the start of a six-week period before the November 3 vote. Election officials express confidence in the security and accuracy of the process amid ongoing concerns about voting methods. The elections will determine control of Congress, with potential impacts on President Trump's remaining term. Key issues include the cost-of-living crisis, the war in Iran, and recent redistricting efforts in several states.
