🚨 There’s a new effort underway to impose the SAVE Act’s restrictions on voters nationwide, but YOU can help stop it 🚨 The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is currently considering whether to require Americans to show a passport or other citizenship document when registering to vote.

Another step of the Trump administration’s concerted strategy to undermine elections: the Justice Department is suing eight states to acquire their voter files. The Brennan Center is tracking the department's requests for sensitive records and how states are responding.

VPC partnered with Lake Research Partners to study voter participation among “Underrepresented Communities” – people of color, young people, and unmarried women – in the 2024 election. Our goal: to understand who voted, who didn’t, and why, so we can continue closing registration and turnout gaps.

Where you live should not determine whether or not your voter registration gets processed. These voters did everything right and their vote is still in danger. Election officials need resources and tools to be able to do their jobs and ensure elections run smoothly ⤵️ www.kens5.com/article/news...

The President wants to ban vote-by-mail, but nearly 30% of Americans who voted in the 2024 election used a mail-in ballot. Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and helps more Americans show up for elections. We must protect it. Learn more ⤵️ www.usatoday.com/story/graphi...

Trump spent part of his Saturday night posting that he wants to sign new executive orders aimed at voter ID and mail-in ballots. That would be unconstitutional. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Allen v. Milligan, establishing fair voting maps in Alabama. Despite this win, some Alabama officials continue to resist, emphasizing how urgent the fight for fair representation remains. @al.com www.al.com/news/2025/08...

As the President calls for an end to mail-in voting, the truth is that vote-by-mail is safe, secure, AND a majority of Americans support it 🙌 We must not allow our election policies to be driven by misinformation. @pewresearch.org

Pro-voting rights groups sued Ohio over a new law mandating proof of citizenship for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) voter registrations. Given that nearly 30% of Ohioans register through the BMV, the lawsuit's outcome could significantly impact voting access in a key swing state.

The redistricting crisis in Texas is not just a headline. It will have a real impact on Black communities in the state. Advocates warn that this process could “diminish voter turnout and effectively disenfranchise some of the state’s most vulnerable voters.” ⤵️ www.votebeat.org/texas/2025/0...

It is dangerous to allow our election policies to be dictated by foreign heads of state 🚨 Research has shown that mail-in voting is… ✅ safe ✅ secure ✅ and increases voter turnout We must stand against this executive overreach and protect mail-in voting. www.axios.com/2025/08/18/t...

Trump’s post saying he will sign an EO purporting to ban mail voting marks an appalling attack on free and fair elections. Flatly illegal and flagrantly unconstitutional. The Constitution gives states and Congress the power to run elections. Presidents have no lawful role. 1/3

🚨President Donald Trump on Monday railed against mail-in voting and vowed to “lead a movement” to eliminate the practice ahead of the 2026 midterms 🚨 www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Mail-in voting increases voter turnout, puts more power in the hands of the people, and creates a more representative government. That is the real reason they want to get rid of it.

Trump pledges to “lead a movement” to eliminate mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms.

This is unfortunately a real headline in 2025 🚨 Anti-voter politicians are saying the quiet part out loud: they don’t believe every American should vote. This should be a wake-up call.

It is 2025 and public figures are attacking women’s right to vote. Yes, you read that right. @19thnews.org Let’s be clear: the right to vote is FUNDAMENTAL for all Americans. We must push back against these dangerous ideas. Learn more ⤵️ 19thnews.org/2025/08/pete...

Maine Republicans are taking pages out of Ohio and Georgia’s anti-voting rulebook, and are pushing for a ballot initiative that could impose troubling new voting restrictions, including: ❌Cutting 2 days of absentee voting ❌Limiting ballot dropboxes ❌And more...

The Voting Rights Act was signed thanks to the Civil Rights Movement’s work to give voters of color, especially Black voters, the political power we deserve. The Constitution promises us a government by and for the people — the Voting Rights Act brought us closer to this ideal.

60 years on, the Voting Rights Act is still facing challenges. At a time when the Justice Department has backed off from voting rights lawsuits, the push to stop individuals from bringing cases has advocates concerned about the future of the VRA. Learn more ⤵️ www.npr.org/2025/08/06/n...

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act changed history. We’re still fighting to honor that legacy. This anniversary isn’t just about honoring the past. It’s about protecting our future. Federal lawmakers must pass legislation to strengthen voting rights to safeguard our voters and our elections.

President Trump's DOJ, in coordination with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, is pushing Texas lawmakers to draw new voting maps that would illegally deprive Black and Latino voters of fair representation. That is straightforward racial discrimination.

NEW: Trump appeals a federal court order blocking key provisions of his anti-voting executive order. Advocates say it could disenfranchise millions by imposing proof-of-citizenship requirements, targeting post-Election Day ballot counting and more. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social
