A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in November’s midterm elections, according to people involved in the effort.
The group includes about 10 current and former officials with experience in the Defense Department, some of whom have previously focused on countering authoritarianism abroad.
Their efforts are motivated not by political bias, they say, but a growing sense of alarm that President Donald Trump will harm American democracy by undermining the integrity of the vote to keep the Republican Party in power.
…
Among their concerns are that the administration could deploy troops or immigration agents to polling stations or seek to nullify results based on claims of voter fraud.
…Their warnings are based on personal analysis of the administration's activities and public statements made by the president and his allies - not access to specific government intelligence or information to which they have access because of their positions within federal agencies, members of the group said. They described the meetings as a way to help state and federal officials secure the election and emphasized that their work has occurred outside of their official capacity as government employees.
…
Trump has long claimed that a “deep state” of government officials is working to undermine his presidency. Since returning to office, he has undertaken an expansive effort to fire career civil servants and solicit political loyalty from the bureaucracy.
Lauren Bis, a White House spokesperson, dismissed the group’s concerns and blamed Democrats for not supporting stricter election laws.

Dear Noah Robertson:
Just what, praytell, is your article detailing?
Meddling according to the democrats= daring to campaign and not just shutting up and obeying .
OoooOOOOOoo anonymous sources, once again.
“Anonymous sources”
Indeed, five words into it was enough. Not much doubt it’s the MSM making this crap up, likely not the deep state as they would do better than this.
Same officials that were pushing Trump Russia, collusion I’m sure
Trump offered a million dollars to anyone reporting election fraud leading to arrest and conviction.
This is the last thing he would do if he were going to “interfere” in the election.
People I just have to ask. Where is Mike DeWine? I’m talkin’ bout’ the current Trump LIVE speech in Ohio. Vivek’s there. So is Husted. De Wine will soon be history so it’s just as well.
The Dems must be worried or they wouldn’t be doing all this handwringing!
“A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers”...that the Trump administration knows all about their methods for cheating and is watching them closely (fixed it).

Data Republican listed this claim of Republican cheating as the first step towards the next coup. She has their own files to back it up too!
Patrick Marley, who added to this article, is a hate Trump fidiot for the ComPost. Every article is on the side of vote fraud from him.
Ah yes!
Once again, those ubiquitous, wise, ever-loyal, “national security officials” whose anonymous opinions always find their way into deep-state media.
Deflection and diversion by treasonous rat media. The Dems are the stinking cheaters and they know it.
The author.

That would be a first. I'm sure glad they disavowed involvement in such treasonous activity. They convinced me. I mean, what spooks would ever use such methods?[CERTAINLY] NOT access to specific government intelligence or information to which they have access
Both Thune and McConnell never recessed the Senate so that the President could gets his picks into office and working. The only time in history a Majority leader the same party as the President refused to help. POS is absolutely spot on!
I sincerely hope something is being done on the back-end, because it just seems like the Left is openly advertising that they intend to pull Lula-esque tactics from Brazil’s elections with no public pushback of any kind.
Exactly...piece of sh*t. Who does he REALLY work for, and what is he paid? The sterno-swilling citizens of South Dakota must be sooooo proud.
