The Trump admin has indicated it may withhold tens of millions of $$$ in election security funding if states don't comply with its voting policy goals.
Elections officials say that makes money inaccessible for most states.

NPR EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

NEW: DOJ is demanding Colorado provide "all" their election records from the past two years... It's a sprawling unprecedented request that many voting officials see tied to efforts to free a 2020 election denier currently in prison

As Donald Trump prepares to pardon people convicted for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, it's worth looking at what leading Republicans said in the immediate aftermath of that day's violence.
A thread:

A key detail, following today's Supreme Court ruling:
Because Virginia allows in-person voter registration through Election Day, there is still time for eligible voters to register and vote. apps.npr.org/voter-registrat…
Read this fantastic @judejoffeblock story, where she spoke with multiple U.S. citizens who appear to have been mistakenly removed from Virginia's voter rolls as part of their quest to rid noncitizens...

NEW: Noncitizen voting is not a real problem in American elections - but Republicans across the country are filing election lawsuits this month aimed at making people believe it is… and potentially laying the groundwork for post election challenges
npr.org/2024/10/25/nx-s1-515…
These latest suits are aimed at DHS, and seem loosely coordinated or motivated by Stephen Miller…
They target an obscure federal immigration database that election officials have long wished worked better. But their timing and requests show they aren’t serious, say experts

It's worth noting that as Trump rages against this Virginia decision, a judge *he appointed* made a similar ruling against Alabama just nine days ago: npr.org/2024/10/16/nx-s1-515…

THREAD: @USPS officials acknowledged during a media briefing that there have been some local-level issues with the delivery of election mail this fall, including in Philadelphia. "When issues are brought to our attention, we address them quickly," said Adrienne Marshall.
Noncitizen voting is not a real problem in American elections.
But @judejoffeblock and I untangled how Republicans convinced a huge swath of Americans that it is.

Turnout in the 2024 general election has now hit 8 figures folks!
10,843,582 million people have now cast ballots, per @ElectProject
really satisfying to just watch the number tick up honestly

In America's second largest voting jurisdiction, 1/3 of the voters who had their mail ballots rejected for signature issues were 18-24 years old in '22. Something to watch this cycle!
Great work @JenAFifield @hannahebassett
Of the Maricopa voters who had their ballot rejected in the midterm for a mismatched signature:
34% registered to vote in 2021 or 2022
36% were 18-24 years old (compared to 9% on the overall voter roll)

As predicted, as of 1pm we have already set an opening day of Early Voting record with 154,505 votes cast in person today, with several hours to go. MASSIVE numbers! Way to go county election offices and way to go voters! Keep it going Georgia! #gapol

New Hampshire’s sweeping new law is the GOP’s latest salvo against (unfounded) noncitizen voting.
Here are the details and why courts could uphold this state effort: npr.org/2024/09/19/nx-s1-511…
