I read on facebook that there was influence in the 2022 Midterm elections. For example, bloated voter rolls and ballot harvesting. Check out this link : https://www.facebook.com/prageru/posts/pfbid02o5dxFEGdWXMJnHEf4DuNSdkrtePgkwCZjUsLjg7w8sCNnKQ4eYKjNJ6d7kL4hhZbl

While issues involving voter fraud in America are real, PragerU is a heavily biased and unsubstantiated source for this issue. 

PragerU is a far right organization compromised by both big business and conservatism. If you pay attention, most of this post is not concerned with the country and is instead concerned with people. If anything, it's more about a distrust of illegal immigrants, using immigration as a scapegoat for voter fraud rather then any other substantiated possibility. Plenty more apolitical sources support the exact opposite, positing that nothing illegal has been done and that many right-wing websites have espoused the same exact conspiracy that PragerU does here. Any conspiracy should be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm not sure the claim states a bias was present in the elections. It looks like the claim is that there was domestic, homegrown interference in the 2022 midterm elections (as opposed to foreign interference).
