You Can Protect Our Elections

by | Aug 21, 2026 | Issues

Here are 5 easy ways to join the army of folks preparing to protect our election. Take these actions, and send this info to friends:

  1. Check your voter registration and tell others to do the same. Seems obvious, but states are purging voters and the last date to re-register varies by state.  It’s easy:  text “VOTER” to 59798**. Do this now and on Sept. 21 and before you vote.

  2. Vote early. Gets your vote on record -the earlier the better- to avoid crowds and disruption.
  3. Volunteer
    •  For non-lawyers: www.wearegroundcontrol.org an excellent resource for numerous ways to help (give rides, call voters, help voters get ID’s, cure mail-in ballots, sign up to mobilize, etc.)
    • For lawyers: Voter Protection Hotline: 866ourvote.org (and also wearegroundcontrol.org)
  4. Support messages “in-real-life” (e.g. billboards, protests, rallies, parties at the polls, poll watching, etc.)  These all send a message across “bubbles.”
  5. Stop spreading their conspiracy theories Stop saying the election will be stolen. That plays into their playbook which is to stoke fear, paralyze and discourage people from voting. And it wastes time that we should use to organize, prepare, disseminate facts and helpful info. Be a “trusted messenger.”  Tell people that lawyers and others are preparing for all contingencies and that they can -at the least- take these actions above to help.  If someone says the election will be stolen, say something like: “We believe that all eligible Americans should be able to vote, that they (“election traitors”) are trying to keep them from voting so MAGA can control the outcome, seize and maintain power, and that’s why we are doing (the actions above). Please join us.”
