This is it, everyone. Contact your precinct or local party and become a #poll watcher in your state. The rules and training are already established in most states. We can help assure the #elections this fall are legal and fair here in the U.S. If Hungary could do it so can we.

13 years ago, while at #doj , I worked on Kobach v. EAC, where states tried and failed to force proof-of-citizenship onto the federal form.

Now at SPLC, we’re intervening as Louisiana tries again.

It didn’t work then. It won’t now. #ProtectTheVote #VotingRights #Elections

Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections

When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would largely be missing.

Former AG Barr on Trump: "significantly detached from reality"

Just to be clear: The federal government will lie about election outcomes Republicans don't like in November. They have let go of the federal employees who chose reality over the 2020 election lies.

Lies from the White House, lies from many federal agencies, relevant or not. From peons, heads of agencies, they will all agree with the lies.

Many will believe the lies. #election2026 #elections #election https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-midterm-elections-takeover
