With early voting for the November presidential election set to begin in September in some states, there are signs across the country that groups are trying to affect the outcome by using deceptive means — and in most cases in ways that would benefit Republican Donald Trump.
FILE - Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, May 24, 2024. With early voting set to begin in late September in some states, there are signs that groups are trying to affect the outcome by using deceptive means. In most cases, in ways that would benefit Donald Trump by whittling away President Joe Biden s already tepid standing with the Democratic Partys base by offering left-leaning, third-party alternatives.
