Trump's DOJ Dangles Prison Threat Before Election Officials Days Ahead of Midterms

The DOJ is intensifying federal oversight of state election processes by threatening prison for election officials before the midterms. Specifically, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona has opened a case into three Democratic-aligned non-profit organizations. This investigation follows an undercover video suggesting volunteers registered non-citizens to vote. A former Republican official noted that this announcement, occurring four days before the November 3 election, could create unnecessary doubt regarding the final results.
