Donald Trump and his allies will try to challenge the election results in November if he loses.

The idea that the 2020 election was stolen has moved from the fringes to being a pillar of the Republican party .

Trump began seeding doubt in 2020 by pointing to mail-in voting as evidence the election was being stolen.

Trump and allies are using a new messaging tactic in its place: that there are scores of non-citizens and other ineligible people on the voter rolls.

Mitchell has played a key role in leading a coalition of groups that has pushed the false idea that there is a serious threat of voting in US elections.

Since 2020 , there have been at least 20 instances in eight states of election officials refusing to certify election results.

A new law, the Electoral Count Reform Act , should provide a significant new layer of protection against election subversion.

Delaying certification efforts at the local level could put states at risk of missing that deadline.
