Trump's campaign against noncitizen voting demonstrates it's rare and not enough to swing elections
🔮 Noncitizen voting is part of administration’s messaging about widespread voter fraud The continuing drumbeat from the administration about voter fraud and noncitizens casting ballots, even when their own investigations show it’s rare, is one reason Democrats, civil rights groups and many election officials are bracing for the possibility of Trump intervening in the November vote. The election officials who gathered with Blacksberg held a media roundtable during which they reassured voters that they are prepared for any possible disruptions this fall. Democrats and civil rights groups have filed multiple lawsuits to try to prevent the Trump administration from sending armed agents to the polls, something the administration insists it will not do. assertive

In Alaska race, Trump targets a long, sometimes sordid political tradition of 'spoiler' candidates
🔮 In Alaska, Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan is facing three other challengers on the state’s final ballot in a race that could determine control of the Senate — Democrat Mary Peltola, who was previously the state’s lone House member, and two candidates who have barely campaigned, including a retired school teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. Alaska Republicans have long suspected the second Sullivan of being a Democratic plant, and the Trump administration took the unusual step last week of suing to prevent certification of a possible Peltola victory until it could be determined if voters were confused. The New York Times this week reported that internal campaign texts and communications showed the Peltola campaign recruited the second Sullivan, leading the president to call for the Democrat’s prosecution and his Justice Department to issue a flurry of subpoenas in a criminal investigation. assertive
