US voters cast ballots as Trump disputes election integrity

adn.com —

Millions of Americans are voting in Tuesday's midterm elections amid President Donald Trump's continued unfounded claims of election cheating and attempts to influence state-run elections, though voting has unfolded with relatively few problems so far. Courts have largely blocked the administration's legal maneuvers, including Supreme Court rejections of efforts to force California to set aside ballots and to limit mail voting. Early turnout is on pace to exceed the last midterms, with weather disruptions reported in the Southwest and Florida. Trump has not committed to accepting the results, saying he will if they are "honest." Election law experts say his lawsuits go beyond historic norms but are unlikely to convince courts, with legal battles potentially extending past Election Day into ballot counting.
