Report says Trump allies quietly laying groundwork to 'steal future elections'

politicsApr 28, 2026517

Common Dreams reports President Donald Trump and allies are directing the Department of Homeland Security to assert federal control over election administration in at least eight states. The report says officials plan to build voter databases and use racial profiling, modeled on DHS deportation tactics, to challenge and invalidate ballots. Those steps would shift authority away from state-run election systems and could systematically disenfranchise targeted communities, potentially changing future election outcomes.
