Dear John,

The Big Lie is already being deployed ahead of the fall election.

What was previously an improvised effort to overturn the 2020 results has now become a sophisticated election subversion playbook.

Thanks to a generous Brennan Center supporter, all donations made through the end of June will be matched, dollar for dollar. Can you join the fight for American democracy today and support our work ahead of the election?

We studied how election deniers operated in the last two elections. One of their tried and tested tactics is rampantly spreading disinformation so that voters don’t know what to believe.

The Brennan Center is tracking these rumors — everything from false narratives about voting machines and mail voting to lies about noncitizen voting — and rapidly developing counter-messages to reinforce public trust in our elections.

Another election denier strategy involves voter intimidation — through mass challenges of voter eligibility and partisan poll watchers causing disruptions. The Brennan Center is ensuring that election administrators, poll workers, and voters know their rights by sharing our research on the legal safeguards that prohibit voter intimidation.

Thank you for standing with us,
The Brennan Center
