A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to cease its alleged campaign of intimidation against election officials ahead of the midterm elections. The court found that officials under the administration had engaged in a “campaign to intimidate, threaten, and coerce” election workers, according to the ruling.
The judge’s decision comes amid heightened concerns over the integrity of the upcoming elections. The ruling was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by election officials who claimed they faced pressure and threats from Trump administration members. The court cited evidence of direct communication and actions aimed at influencing election outcomes.
This marks the latest legal challenge against the Trump administration’s alleged interference in electoral processes. Previous efforts by the administration to influence election procedures have been met with legal pushback, including court orders and congressional inquiries. The current ruling adds to the growing scrutiny of the administration’s actions ahead of the 2026 midterms.
