Several states have been asked to turn over voter information, allow inspections of voting equipment.
President Donald Trump has consistently raised concerns over election integrity, and as the 2026 midterm elections loom, his team is taking action. His administration is reaching out to several states to shore up election security, and officials from both sides of the aisle are up in arms.
The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration has begun a multifaceted campaign in several states to inspect voting equipment and gather voter data.
The Justice Department has taken what the Post called the 'unusual step' of asking at least nine states for copies of their voter rolls.
The Washington Post claimed that the "most unusual activity" was occurring in Colorado, where an alleged federal consultant working with the White House has asked county clerks if they would allow the federal government to physically examine the voting equipment. Election laws strictly limit physical examinations by federal agencies, though they can offer technical assistance and advice to state and local election officials.
