With Vote-by-Mail Court Fight Settled, Attention Shifts to Protections at the Polls
Common Cause and Democrats are deploying thousands of volunteers to counter intimidation, disinformation and access problems at polling sites.
- On Thursday, Common Cause announced a "voter protection" campaign placing thousands of volunteers at polling sites in 25 states, while the Democratic Party launched an initiative this week deploying 10,000 volunteers across 50 states and seven territories.
- ASDC Chair Jane Kleeb said these initiatives respond to threats "breathing down our neck" regarding potential voter intimidation, amid fears that President Donald Trump might deploy federal agents to disrupt voting.
- Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security launched a manual voter roll review to identify noncitizens, while the Justice Department ordered 29 states to preserve 2024 election documents, advising they are "under investigation."
- Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled on Tuesday the administration remains undeterred by the Supreme Court's ruling blocking mail-in voting changes, though election officials insist time-tested processes will ensure secure midterm results.
- Public trust in election certifications remains low, with only 34% of adults in an AP-NORC and USAFacts poll this month reporting high confidence in government results, as nonpartisan groups deploy advocates to counter fraud narratives.
