How Donald Trump might make it harder to vote if he wins a new term
The warning comes as Democrats say that democracy is on the ballot, Trump suggests he won't accept a defeat and Republicans say they want to make it harder to cheat.

A liberal watchdog organization is warning that former President Donald Trump is on a mission to make it harder for people to vote in 2024 and beyond, and he is ready to discredit the results if he loses.
In a new report this week, the American Civil Liberties Union pointed to Trump and his allies’ refusal to commit to accepting the results of this year's presidential election.
Even if he does win, the ACLU said, Americans should expect Trump will abuse his executive power to interfere with elections, such as prosecuting spurious claims of voter fraud, purging voters from rolls, and using federal police powers to intimidate local election workers.
It’s one of the strongest nonpartisan warnings yet of the potential consequences of a second Trump presidency, as anxious Democrats say that democracy is on the ballot but Republicans counter that the purpose of their new election laws is to make it harder to cheat.

re-election.
It’s helpful to get out as much informationa as possible of the danger of another Trump administration.
I’m going to do what I can to see Trump defeated keeping in mind that he’s his own worst enemy and will, most likely, self destruct.
