Trump has previously raised concerns about voting irregularities that he warned may undermine the integrity of the election.

“Of course there is large scale voter fraud,” Trump said earlier this year. “Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!”

Studies of in-person voter fraud have found that the practice is incredibly rare. A study published in The Washington Post in 2014 found just 31 credible instances of impersonation fraud out of the more than 1 billion ballots cast between 2000 and 2014.

Supporters of Trump have rallied to monitor polling locations in what they claim is an effort to block efforts to vote illegally.

Trump adviser Roger Stone has launched a project aimed at stopping purported voter fraud, called Stop the Steal, which has recruited volunteers to monitor polls in some Democratic-leaning areas.
