Will the Trump administration restrict or control voting by midterms?

Question

Will there be any significant effort to restrict voting rights?

These would include any photo ID laws or registration changes (such as SAVE America act). Canceling mail-in-voting would also count. Controlling vote counting or procedure through federalization would also resolve YES. If these actions are disputed in court or congress the market will resolve on whether it is active and has any de facto effect during November midterm elections.

Update 2026-10-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): To resolve YES, there must be significant and widespread de facto effects:

The administration makes an attempt to disenfranchise a subset of voters across one state or at least 1,000 individual voters across multiple states

As a result, some amount of those voters are unable to vote
