How could Trump interfere in the midterms? Here's what voting officials are watching
(NPR) Less than a year from the midterm elections, state and local voting officials from both major political parties are actively preparing for the possibility of interference by a federal government helmed by President Trump.
The problem is, no one knows what might be coming.
Steve Simon, the Democratic secretary of state of Minnesota, likened it to planning for natural disasters. "You have to use your imagination to consider and plan for the most extreme scenario," Simon said.
Carly Koppes, the Republican clerk of Weld County in Colorado, said officials in her state are shoring up their relationships with local law enforcement and county and state attorney's offices, to make sure any effort to interfere with voting is "met with a pretty good force of resistance."
