Attorney General Todd Blanche indicated that the Justice Department could potentially intervene in the certification of midterm election votes under certain hypothetical circumstances, according to The Hill.

Blanche described these as 'doomsday scenarios' where the DOJ might block the certification process in states.

He did not specify any particular conditions or states where this might occur, leaving the possibility open in theory.
