Trump tightens voter procedures ahead of US midterms, stokes fraud narrative

Ahead of the November congressional elections, the Trump administration is tightening voting procedures and adding citizens to suspicious lists, while Trump continues to portray voting as fraud-prone. The president lacks legal tools to invalidate House and Senate results but can alter election conditions and reinforce claims that unfavorable outcomes are fraudulent. This signals an escalation in pre-election maneuvering that could undermine confidence in electoral integrity.
