US states brace for Trump election interference via fraud claims, ICE or military monitoring

Ahead of the November congressional elections, former President Trump is tightening voting procedures, promoting unsubstantiated 2020 election fraud claims, and encouraging mail-in voting, signaling a strategic pivot to mobilize Republican voters while simultaneously undermining confidence in electoral integrity. US states are preparing for potential interference via fraud claims and possible deployment of federal personnel, though these actions remain unconfirmed. The administration's pre-election maneuvering and rhetoric are likely to challenge democratic institutions and voter behavior.
