“We want a democracy that brings people in, but the Legislature continues to find ways to exclude people and keep people out, really without justification,” — Brad Ashwell, Florida director of All Voting is Local

Trump new executive order tries to do a bunch of things he has zero authority to do. States, not the president, run our elections. Americans have voted by mail for more than 150 years, and they won't stop now. allvotingislocal.org/statements/a...
Our Michigan State Director, Ashiya Brown, recently wrote for @michiganadvance.com about how we show up for our neighbors and our freedoms amid heightened attacks on our right to vote.
“The ballot box is the biggest threat to Trump’s authoritarian agenda.” michiganadvance.com/2026/03/13/t...
"Elections are run by state and local officials, not by politicians who are unhappy with the outcome or have a vendetta against those who do not support them."

I've loved watching movies my whole life and every year the Oscars remind me why. So many fun and amazing moments --and this one really struck me right in my heart.
Florida lawmakers just passed a "show me your papers" bill that could block hundreds of thousands of Floridians from voting. The fed SAVE Act isn't expected to make it through the Senate, but what's coming out of the White House & allies is the playbook. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...
A great reminder that protecting the vote is a commitment that election officials of all stripes take seriously. ]Another hard pass - this time from Idaho - on the Administration's efforts to get states to hand over private voter data.

Gas prices are up, and the cost of living is crushing families. The President's response is to hold all legislation hostage until the SAVE America Act passes — a bill that does nothing to protect our elections and only serves to stop Americans from voting.
Another day, another waste of time, resources and energy. Americans are a lot more concerned about ... just about anything other than another effort to spin up lies about our elections www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Selma is living history, and it demands we heed the urgent call to protect the vote from any threat. I'm honored to be part of the work we do at @VotingIsLocal where every day my colleagues teach me through their words and action what it means to answer that call.
This week brings another commemoration: Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama where civil rights activists' courage moved this country toward the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965—the very same law at risk in the Callais case, before the US Supreme Court.
Threats to the vote are all around. Members of Congress trying again to block millions of Americans from voting. Continued fallout from the conspiracy theory-driven raid on the Fulton County, GA elections office. The Admin tying US military action to lies about the 2020 election.
The past weekend marked the end of Black History Month. 100 years after it first launched, this February has put front and center how the fight for voting rights is unfinished business for communities across the U.S., particularly for Black Americans.
This is what saying the quiet part out loud looks like.
Democracy means everyone who’s eligible gets a voice, not just the people politicians think will vote for them.
We mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights titan who spent his life fighting for justice and a democracy that includes us all.
We’ll honor his legacy by continuing the fight to make that vision real.
"Absentee voting is not a “privilege” that voters gamble on at their own risk...Treating it otherwise weakens the shared understanding that every valid vote deserves to be counted and protected."

Trump's latest call to nationalize elections is another desperate attempt to see just how far he can go in meddling with our elections and silencing voters.
This moment calls on us to come together and send a clear message: hands off our vote.

Recorder Heap must resign immediately.
When a chief election official refuses to condemn violent political rhetoric—and instead uses it to attack checks and balances—he disqualifies himself from office.
Arizona voters deserve nonpartisan, accountable election officials. Period.

As Trump admin escalates attacks on our elections—raiding an election office and demanding private voter data—election officials are preparing for federal interference. Protecting our elections isn’t partisan, it’s about every voter’s right to be heard.

“I really think they are using Georgia as a blueprint to see what they can get away with…if they can get away with this here, what’s going to stop them from attempting to do this in other states?” - AVL GA State Director Kristin Nabers

Six years after losing the 2020 election, this administration is still attempting to undermine elections by seizing ballots & pushing false claims that have been repeatedly disproven.

Not one of us can sit by in moments like this. We must all stand firmly on the side of justice, accountability, and freedom — or risk losing those values altogether. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/u...
The Trump administration continues to make clear its true intention in deploying federal law enforcement: to take power from the American people. Trump & his allies are trying to take control over every aspect of how we make our voices heard, from the streets to our elections.
The events in Minneapolis this weekend are devastating. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse with the VA, was killed while trying to protect a woman during a violent ICE operation. The Administration's lies about what happened throw salt on the wound of a tragic loss.
Your vote is protected every step of the way. Behind the scenes, election officials follow rigorous chain-of-custody procedures to secure ballots and ensure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.

The pattern of lies and violence, reinforced by allied officials, is unacceptable. It endangers our families, our freedoms, and our futures and we will not stand for it.
The administration’s response, particularly its stark contrast to eyewitness and video evidence, highlights a horrifying pattern of prioritizing their own narrative over the truth.
This is far from the first instance of federal agents terrorizing our cities in pursuit of power and control, including my own hometown of Washington, D.C.
