Trump campaign grills election officials about veracity of mail-in voting

President Donald Trump's campaign team is bombarding local election officials in swing states, digging for details on vote-counting and gearing up for a potential legal fight over mail-in ballots.

In an effort that local officials and experts describe as far more extensive than anything launched in previous elections, the Trump campaign is pushing for particulars on everything from ballot storage to volunteer vetting, through personal outreach as well as in writing, election officials tell CNN.

In at least two key states, Wisconsin and Georgia, local officials have received questionnaires from Trump's team asking things like how ballots will be verified, how staffers will be deployed and even what the envelopes housing ballots will look like, according to multiple sources and documents.

More than 1,800 municipal clerks in Wisconsin received a document in recent weeks that state officials said looked at first glance like a public records request, but that was actually a document from the Trump Victory team seeking data, according to Reid Magney, spokesman for the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

And in Georgia, county officials received a 59-question document from the President's reelection team that probed how that state's mail-in system will be structured at every level. One question on the list, obtained by CNN, even asked if there's a way to tell if a ballot was sent by a Democrat or Republican.
