The Guardian's First Thing briefing reports that the 'counting window' — the days after midterm voting as ballots are tallied — is seen as a high-risk period for Donald Trump to cast doubt on the results.

Why now: Concerns are mounting ahead of the US midterms that the vote-counting period could be exploited to challenge results.
