- A group of current and former U.S. officials is advising state leaders on how to prepare for potential interference by the Trump administration in the upcoming midterm elections, according to The Washington Post.
- The warnings are driven by concerns that President Donald Trump will attempt to undermine the results, following his repeated baseless claims regarding election fraud and a deep state conspiracy.
- Officials in 10 states worry about potential federal actions, such as deploying immigration agents or military personnel to polling places under the pretense of preventing fraud.
- The White House dismissed the group's concerns, stating that the administration is focused on protecting election security and prosecuting election-related crimes.
- The Justice Department has already initiated actions ahead of the midterms, including filing charges against 28 green card holders in California for alleged fraudulent voter registration.
