What to know

  • Trump and allies are deploying gerrymandering, mail voting interference (narrowly blocked by Supreme Court), and noncitizen voting charges to suppress Democratic votes ahead of midterms.
  • Democrats are favored in House races despite gerrymandering and narrowly ahead in Senate despite unfavorable map, but margins are tight and polls have historically underestimated Trump.
  • Inquirer editorial argues high voter turnout is the strongest defense against election interference schemes, urging voters not to rely on polling predictions.

“His latest gambit is to use trumped-up charges of noncitizen voting to arrest and intimidate those who might cast ballots for Democrats.”

    Philadelphia Inquirer calls for turnout to counter Trump election interference

    The Inquirer editorial board publishes analysis of Trump's midterm strategies, detailing gerrymandering, postal service interference with mail voting (blocked by Supreme Court), and voter intimidation through noncitizen voting charges. The editorial argues that robust democratic participation is the strongest remedy.

    “Robust democratic participation is the surest remedy for President Trump's efforts to undermine our democracy.”
