Trump allies could use midterm counting window to disrupt results, experts warn

With fewer than six weeks until November’s US midterms and control of Congress at stake, election experts warn Donald Trump’s administration and allies in key states may use the post-election counting window to amplify false claims after the supreme court rejected sweeping mail-in ballot restrictions earlier this month. A former national security council homeland security adviser told a Brennan Center briefing that loyalists might cite foreign interference to seize ballots or equipment while counts can take days or weeks in some states.
