In various states, there are rising tensions as some local officials, aligned with Trump, may attempt to refuse the certification of election results. This move could undermine democratic processes, especially in battleground states where election officials are actively preparing to counter such actions. Legal experts have confirmed that it is illegal for county officials to refuse certification, yet there are fears that this could disproportionately affect voters of color and violate the Voting Rights Act. In addition, the spread of disinformation continues to pose a threat, as local officials may inadvertently fuel misunderstandings about election integrity. Key jurisdictions are being monitored, with a focus on several swing counties where denial of election results could occur. As the situation develops, election workers and state officials are emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
