Revision History

Federal prosecutors have announced multiple active election fraud investigations spanning California, Georgia, Michigan, and several other states, seizing ballots and demanding election records in an unprecedented expansion of DOJ involvement in state-administered elections. While supporters say the investigations protect election integrity, nonpartisan experts, state officials, and voting rights groups warn the probes lack specific evidence, break longstanding DOJ norms, and risk chilling voter participation — particularly among minority communities — ahead of the 2026 midterms.
