US President Donald Trump has announced a $1 million cash prize for any individual who reports election fraud that leads to an arrest and conviction. The announcement was made on social media before he boarded Air Force One for a campaign rally in Mississippi. Concurrently, Trump is demanding the Justice Department seek to block the Alaska Senate results in the event of a close Republican loss, and has advanced election reform legislation requiring a photo ID and proof of citizenship. The White House has refused to provide details on the funding source for the prize. The bill has passed the House but faces blocks in the Senate. Additionally, a separate whistleblower program was announced that would award a percentage of the amount recovered for the state treasury.
