These are the incidents we have observed and sourced, not a count of everything that has happened.

Active Control of the process

Removal of election officials

Officials who run, certify, or oversee elections are fired, forced out, or replaced, and the bodies they sit on are left unable to act, so that people more willing to go along are in place when results are counted and certified.
