Trump administration intensifies legal challenges four days before the midterms

As the midterm elections approach, the Trump administration escalates legal actions regarding voter eligibility, targeting California and Alaska. Federal subpoenas were issued to Los Angeles election officials and individuals linked to Alaska's Senate candidate Mary Peltola, amid allegations of voter manipulation. The DOJ's efforts include scrutinizing voter registration records for noncitizens, although previous court rulings have challenged their claims. In Alaska, Peltola's campaign faces scrutiny for allegedly recruiting a candidate with a similar name to confuse voters. Meanwhile, California's election process is underway, with over 500,000 ballots already processed, despite ongoing legal disputes.
