Mr. Trump’s tweets will keep the focus on an issue that has already painted the new president as a liar. His press secretary, Sean Spicer, stood at the podium of the White House press room on Tuesday to publicly acknowledge that Mr. Trump believes a conspiracy theory about which there is no evidence.

But Mr. Trump’s Twitter threat pushes the issue into the policy realm. Voting rights advocates have feared the president’s flight of fancy could be a precursor to a broad effort to limit access to the polls, especially for minorities and immigrants.
