Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have launched an all-out effort to steal the midterm elections.
In Texas, Republicans rammed through a sketchy, mid-decade partisan gerrymander to snatch five congressional seats currently held by Democrats.1
House Republicans have passed legislation called the SAVE Act, which would require people to show a birth certificate or passport matching the name on their current ID when they register, disenfranchising tens of millions of voters.2
And then this week, Trump announced that he will issue an executive order to ban mail-in voting and seize personal control of election oversight nationwide.3
We’ve mobilized tens of thousands of people to stop the SAVE Act and stop Trump from rigging the midterms, and we need your help to ramp up our efforts right now.

That’s why he’s scrambling now to do everything he can to rig the midterm elections.
The SAVE Act, passed earlier this year in the House and awaiting a vote in the Senate, is one of the most dangerous attacks on our democracy.
This legislation would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans by requiring them to show a birth certificate, passport, or a small list of other citizenship documents that must match their current name when they register to vote or change addresses.6 Married women, young people, immigrants, and those who have recently moved would be especially affected.
Demand Progress Action is a nonpartisan organization, and we don’t endorse any candidate or party. Indeed, if a Democratic president were pushing these kinds of anti-democratic voter suppression policies, we’d oppose that as well.
Voting is the core of democracy, and our free and fair elections are under attack like never before.
With gratitude,
The team at Demand Progress Action
