Original: Trump allies could use midterms ‘counting window’ to disrupt results, experts warn
Experts warn that allies of Donald Trump positioned in key battleground states could exploit the period when midterm votes are counted to disrupt or challenge results. The concern is that loyalists in election offices or as poll watchers could amplify false fraud claims during the counting window, echoing efforts to overturn the 2020 election and undermining confidence in the midterms.
Why now: Growing fears about election integrity ahead of the US midterms, with recollections of 2020 fraud claims still fresh.
