Donald Trump Offers Fraud Rewards

Donald Trump offered $1 million to anyone whose voter-fraud report leads to an arrest and conviction. He posted the offer on Truth Social for past or upcoming elections as midterm campaigns made their final push. Trump has repeatedly alleged widespread fraud, including false claims about the 2020 election, while voter fraud in the United States is rare. The Justice Department sought to make California set aside ballots from people it called suspected noncitizens, but state officials resisted and the Ninth CircuitCourt of Appeals for the Ninth Circuitfederal appellate court for the western U.S. refused the emergency request. The department also sued over Alaska’s Senate race, saying a same-name candidate could confuse voters, while Alaska’s high courtAlaska Supreme Courtthe highest court in the U.S. state of Alaska said that candidate may run. Trump said he would accept results only from “honest elections.” No funding source has been identified.
