We agree: these requests are about intimidation and control, not strengthening our democracy. Voters shouldn’t be used as pawns for political games.

Election experts are calling the DOJ’s request for states to turn over sensitive voter information “an attempt to sow seeds of doubt in the election system,”

Georgia’s State Election Board Undermines Elections by Issuing Subpoena Over 2020 Results - All Voting is Local

All Voting is Local @allvotingislocal.bsky.social · 12d

The DOJ just filed lawsuits against 6 states demanding access to voters’ sensitive personal data like addresses, driver’s license numbers, and Social Security info.

This is nothing more than a dangerous abuse of power designed to undermine trust in our elections.

We joined local partners to call out the Georgia State Election Board for their decision to subpoena ballots from the 2020 election.

This likely unlawful investigation is driven by disinformation and conspiracy theories, and it undermines our democracy.

WI still has 200-year-old law that lets officials randomly throw out ballots when counts don’t match.

All Voting proudly joined a coalition of nearly 600 nonprofits in an open letter calling for an end to threats against nonprofit organizations, political violence, and the escalation of political division.

Read the statement below ⬇️

Public Citizen @publiccitizen.bsky.social · 19d

Over 600 organizations signed an open letter urging Trump to end his unjustified targeting of nonprofits.

Weaponizing the government doesn't prevent political division - it escalates it.

The President should be calling for unity, not deepening the country's divides.

Voter Registration is Being Undermined Across America

All Voting is Local @allvotingislocal.bsky.social · 20d

This strategy plays out through what we call "pink lines"—seemingly modest measures that normalize and pave the way for more draconian voting restrictions…this is a crisis in slow motion—and we are watching it play out state-by-state.”

On #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, I wrote for @time.com about the surge in state-level attacks on voting: 160+ anti-voter bills were introduced this year alone.

These copycat bills aren’t isolated, they build on federal efforts to silence eligible voters.
