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 deployed 10,000 volunteers across 50 states and seven territories.
- ASDC Chair Jane Kleeb said initiatives respond to threats "breathing down our neck" regarding voter intimidation, amid concerns that President Donald Trump might deploy federal agents to disrupt voting.
- The Department of Homeland Security launched a manual voter roll review in August, while the Justice Department ordered 29 states last week to preserve 2024 election documents, advising they were "under investigation."
- Attorney General Todd Blanche signaled on Tuesday the administration remains undeterred by the Supreme Court's ruling blocking mail-in voting changes. Election officials insist time-tested processes will ensure secure midterm results.
- An AP-NORC and USAFacts poll this month found only 34% of adults trust government election certifications highly. Nonpartisan groups hope voter advocates at polling stations will counter narratives claiming elections are riddled with fraud.
