距离11月中期选举不足六周，选举专家正就潜在的选举破坏风险发出警告。1最高法院本月早些时候驳回了政府对邮寄投票的广泛限制，但专家担忧特朗普及其盟友可能在选票计数期间放大毫无根据的指控来质疑对他们不利的结果。1前国土安全部副顾问凯特琳·德基维奇表示，政府可能会"利用外国干涉的指控来没收设备或选票"。1
计票过程中存在的时间窗口为干扰制造了机会。1由于多个州需要数天甚至数周才能完成计票，这一时期容易被国内外行为体利用以制造对选举结果的怀疑。1加州的计票尤其可能需要数周时间。1与此同时，国土安全部继续在各州追求选民名单，声称找到非公民选民，但一名举报人称该部门使用了"高度可疑的数据"。1
对于关于选举干涉的指控，前国防情报副主任贝丝·桑纳表示："我们没有任何例子表明某个国家试图干涉选举程序。它没有发生在2020年。"1另一方面，网络安全与基础设施安全局削减了选举安全方面的员工和经费。1
Election security experts have warned that the Trump administration and its allies may attempt to undermine the 2026 midterm elections by amplifying baseless allegations during the vote-counting phase. 1 With less than six weeks remaining before the November midterms, concerns have intensified following the Supreme Court's rejection earlier this month of the administration's attempt to impose broad restrictions on mail-in voting. 1
According to former Department of Homeland Security deputy adviser Caitlin DeKeyser, the administration could potentially "seize equipment or ballots by invoking allegations of foreign interference." 1 The vulnerability stems partly from the extended counting timelines in many states—California alone requires weeks to complete its tally—creating an extended period susceptible to exploitation by domestic and foreign actors seeking to sow doubt. 1 Former Deputy Director of Defense Intelligence Beth Sanner emphasized this concern, stating: "We have no examples of any country trying to interfere with voting procedures. It did not happen in 2020." 1
Additional complications have emerged from the Department of Homeland Security's ongoing pursuit of voter rolls across states, with officials claiming to have identified noncitizen voters. 1 However, a whistleblower has alleged that the department employed "highly suspicious data" in this effort. 1 Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has reduced both staffing and funding dedicated to election security, further straining protections during this critical counting window. 1
