Legal chaos after US midterms is a greater risk than ICE agents at the polls

In the lead-up to the elections, speculation arose about the potential deployment of armed federal agents or National Guard troops at polling places. Experts assert that U.S. law prohibits such actions unless responding to foreign threats. The White House's involvement in the election process has raised concerns, particularly regarding gerrymandering and attempts to restrict mail-in voting. Legal disputes are anticipated post-election, especially in Alaska, where a Democratic candidate leads a Republican incumbent amid allegations of candidate name confusion. The Justice Department's intervention in election certification processes has been deemed constitutionally questionable.
