Democrats and Republicans fear interference in the elections. Lawsuits are already being filed.

Former and current U.S. Department of Defense officials are consulting with lawmakers about potential interference in the upcoming congressional elections by the Trump administration. Concerns focus on the deployment of security personnel at polling places. The White House insists on the need to prevent non-citizens from voting, despite rare occurrences of such incidents. A group of ten security experts is communicating with state officials to address vulnerabilities in the electoral system. The Biden administration has dismissed these concerns, while Trump continues to claim that a 'deep state' is undermining his presidency. Discussions include the possibility of armed forces being deployed at polling stations, which has raised alarms among election officials. Coordination among Democratic state officials is ongoing to strategize against potential federal interference in the elections.
