Fight the Trump Administration's Election Interference

In an attempt to exert control over our elections, Trump called on Republicans to “nationalize the voting." While the federal government lacks the legal authority to do so, the Trump administration has continued to perpetuate misinformation about the 2020 and 2024 elections, and they have taken extraordinary steps to interfere with states’ authority over their election systems and voter data.

• The FBI conducted a raid at the election headquarters of Fulton County, Georgia, and seized records from the 2020 election, including ballots, voter rolls, and digital data.

• AG Pam Bondi informed Minnesota governor Tim Walz that she would pull ICE out of Minnesota if the state turned over their sensitive voter registration records to the federal government, an egregious abuse of power.

• The Trump administration has sued more than 20 states for refusing to hand over their voter files; the DOJ has demanded access to states’ voter rolls, 2020 and 2024 election records, and other sensitive election data that federal law prevents the DOJ from accessing first-hand.

• Trump signed an executive order to ban all mail-in voting across the country, an unconstitutional act the federal government does not have legal authority to do. He also signed an executive order to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote; federal courts have struck parts of this order, finding that the executive branch lacks this authority.

• The Trump administration has implemented “a searchable national citizenship data system” to ensure that only American citizens are voting, yet the secrecy surrounding the creation of the database is leading many to suspect it could inaccurately disenfranchise eligible voters. Election officials have also raised concerns about the federal government collecting and storing this private data and what the data could be used for.

This administration’s continual attempts to chip away at voters’ rights and take control of our independent election systems are an existential threat to our democracy. Demand you representatives in Congress forcefully condemn this unconstitutional interference and urge your state leaders work to protect the integrity of our elections.
