Representative Mary Gay Scanlon Accuses Trump Administration of Undermining Elections

Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Mary Gay Scanlon has publicly accused the Trump administration of actively undermining the integrity of U.S. elections. Speaking at a forum focused on protecting voting rights, Scanlon stated that the administration is using "phony claims about election integrity" to erode public trust. She further alleged that these efforts include defunding oversight bodies and systems designed to safeguard elections, as well as attempting to restrict ballot access through what she termed "21st century voter suppression tools," specifically citing the SAVE Act. This accusation comes as the Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, announced aggressive actions to secure midterm elections, including charging numerous individuals with unlawful voting and registration offenses. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter emphasized that election integrity should be a nonpartisan issue, highlighting a significant increase in charges compared to the previous administration.
