Cultural shifts

The Washington Post will not endorse a candidate for the first time in 36 years,[7] after favouring democtratic candidates for almost a century.
Tampering Attempts?
Law enforcement officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, arrested a temporary election worker for allegedly stealing a security fob and keys from a ballot tabulation center in June of 2024.[8]
