Common Dreams reports President Donald Trump is directing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to assert federal control over elections in at least eight states. The report says officials plan to racially profile voters and use that data to challenge and invalidate ballots, shifting authority from state and local election officials to federal appointees. Centralizing election administration this way could disenfranchise minority voters, reshape close races, and trigger major legal fights over federal election power.
