All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
Election deniers are misrepresenting a routine CISA election security report as a Trump administration victory, pushing false narratives about election integrity. This comes amidst calls for Trump to declare a national emergency to take over midterm elections, a move experts deem unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to use a federal immigration database (SAVE) for voter purges, overturning a lower court's injunction. Critics argue the system is flawed, disproportionately flagging naturalized citizens, and violates privacy laws.
Democrats, led by Marc Elias, have filed a lawsuit to prevent the Trump administration from deploying armed federal agents at polling places. This action comes after repeated threats and instances of federal agents intimidating voters and election workers, which Democrats argue is a violation of federal law and an attempt to subvert elections.
