Donald Trump’s Justice Department just issued a sweeping demand to states to turn over voter rolls, voting histories, private voter information, and grant physical access to voting machines.
With his MAGA loyalists embedded in state legislatures, secretaries of state offices, and local election boards, Trump is building a legal and procedural machine to control election certification, suppress voters, and overturn results. It’s a coordinated, authoritarian power grab to gain control over how votes are cast and counted ahead of the 2026 midterms.
They’re defunding election offices, criminalizing voter outreach, and laying the groundwork to discard ballots under fake fraud claims. Trump is counting on apathy, distraction, and delay. But we see him coming.
In 2020, Trump tried to bully his way to power by spreading lies, pressuring election officials, and inciting an insurrection. Now he’s using the DOJ itself to carry out his next act of sabotage.
That’s why we must push every state leader to act now. Refuse Trump’s demands.
