Election experts have warned that allies of Donald Trump's administration could use the period after November's midterm elections to attempt to disrupt the results, according to the Guardian.
The concern centers on what is described as a "counting window" -- the crucial hours and days during which votes are tallied -- when experts fear loyalists in key states could amplify false claims about the outcome.
The warning follows what the report describes as past struggles to enforce guardrails against such efforts.
No specific incidents were cited as having occurred yet; the warnings relate to the upcoming midterm elections.
