'Election subversion' accusations: Donald Trump and allies look for new ways to challenge votes

• States are considering rule changes to make it easier to challenge elections.
• Critics say some Republicans could try to overturn adverse state election results.
• Donald Trump's false claims about the 2020 election are driving calls for new voting rules.
• Trump and other Republicans say they are seeking 'election integrity'.

WASHINGTON – For weeks after Election Day in 2020, then-President Donald Trump and his allies pressured state legislators and election officials to throw out votes, submit pro-Trump slates to the Electoral College or otherwise overturn the results in enough states to deny victory to Joe Biden.

It didn't work – but opponents fear that Trump and his supporters plan to try again in 2024 with the help of new laws.

As the former president ponders another campaign, Trump supporters and some Republican lawmakers in pivotal states are trying to make it easier to challenge and perhaps overturn future elections, analysts say, setting the stage for a crisis of democracy after the votes are tabulated in November 2024.
