DOJ considers criminal charges for state officials over election integrity policies: 'No option off the table'

The Department of Justice is considering whether it can charge local or state election officials who don’t adhere to Trump administration standards on voting security.

The Trump administration is reportedly driving the effort forward based on its skepticism about the security of the nation’s elections. President Donald Trump previously said the 2020 election was “rigged” after he lost to former President Joe Biden and called for an investigation into widespread voter fraud.
