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

This an article from The Guardian. And it scares the hell out of me.

Mainly because I don't just think Trump and his mob will try and do this. He WILL do this.

States adopt voting restrictions.

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

Republicans accuse elections officials of crimes.

The federal government seizes voting machines or ballots.

Federal agents occupy cities and surround polls.
