Trump escalates claims of noncitizen voting ahead of midterms

In the U.S., President Donald Trump and his allies are amplifying claims about noncitizen voting as the November midterm elections approach. The Republican candidate for governor in Maine plans to request federal agents to monitor polling places. Critics argue this focus is a strategy to challenge election outcomes unfavorable to Trump, especially after a census report suggested 24,000 noncitizens voted illegally in 2020.
