Early voting begins in U.S. midterms
In-person early voting opened Friday in several states, starting the final six weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm elections that will decide control of the U.S. House, Senate and many state chambers. Election administrators say they are prepared and confident votes will be accurate and secure, but President Trump has continued legal and administrative efforts to challenge voting methods, press for state voter data and hunt for noncitizen voters. The campaign comes amid mid-decade redistricting affecting millions, a weakened federal Voting Rights Act, USPS postmark concerns for mail ballots, and calls from advocates to vote early.
