  • Former GOP chair Michael Steele said U.S. President Donald Trump is considering undermining the vote.
  • Far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root told Trump an emergency would need a supermajority congressional vote to overturn and would let the administration impose photo ID and limit mail-in ballots.
