Five ways Trump could try to tilt the midterm elections in his favor [View all]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/25/trump-midterm-elections-voting-influence

Trump issues an executive order imposing voter ID and proof of citizenship.

The federal government seizes voting machines or ballots.

Federal agents occupy cities and surround polls.
