The Trump administration is taking steps to restrict voting access in the final stretch before the November 3 midterm elections, according to France 24. The vote carries high stakes for President Donald Trump, since a Republican loss of control in Congress could stall or derail his legislative agenda.
France 24 reports that critics describe the political climate heading into the election as an 'atmosphere of fear,' pointing to the administration's efforts to curtail voting rights as a source of growing anxiety among voters and advocacy groups.
The midterms will determine whether Republicans retain the congressional majorities that have allowed Trump to advance his policy priorities, making the fight over ballot access a central flashpoint in the campaign's closing days.
