Trumpβs DOJ is building a voter purge machineβpowered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now itβs carrying them out.
Letβs be clear: nothing about this is normal, & election officials need to keep pushing back.
βThese unprecedented demands for vast amounts of voter data are part of a larger pattern of actions indicating a reckless grab for power over American elections,β

They tried to overturn the 2020 US election. Now, they hold power in Trumpβs Washington
Those who tried to overturn the 2020 election now occupy key federal roles, shaping rules and sowing doubt for 2026
Trump is rewarding election deniers with powerful positions β elevating people whoβve worked to undermine our democratic values. But state and local election officials still have both the power and the duty to hold the line and protect the will of voters.

DeSantis, lawmakers urged to back off redistricting by voter groups
Voter groups and minority activists are urging Gov. DeSantis and the GOP-led Legislature to back off plans to redraw congressional boundaries.
Our FL State Director Brad Ashwell recently sounded the alarm on a redistricting push that would hurt voters and put additional burdens on election officials.
βLawmakers are taking the illegal step of redrawing districts halfway through the normal cycle,β www.dailycommercial.com/story/news/l...

Trump pardons Wisconsin Republicans named in efforts to overturn 2020, but state prosecutions aren't affected
President Donald Trump has pardoned Wisconsin Republicans who participated in a scheme he created to try to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Pardoning Wisconsinβs fake electors (like Bob Spindell, who still oversees elections in Wisconsin) sends a dangerous message: overturning a free and fair election has no consequences.
Democracy runs on truth and rule of law β not loyalty to power.
