Mother Jones: “Trump’s New Executive Order Is an ‘Astonishing and Unprecedented Voter Suppression’ Effort"

“The executive order includes a laundry list of suppressive policies that the voting rights group Fair Fight called a ‘MAGA fever dream.’”

Keep reading for a round-up of what you need to know (to save you some doom-scrolling through the news) — but if you’re looking for an immediate way to fight back against voter suppression, please chip in a donation to help ensure equal access to the ballot box.

1. First things first: Trump does not have the power to take over elections like this. Parts of his executive order would likely crumble in court — similar attempted policy changes have been defeated in court before.

2. But we have to be clear-eyed about the election-rigging agenda that it represents. He’s trying to:

• Strip the freedom to vote from anyone who can’t produce documents that millions of Americans don’t have, can’t afford, or struggle to access.
• Gut voter registration methods that have long made voting safer, more accessible, and more equitable.
• Open the door for Elon Musk to dig through voter files for our personal information and potentially purge eligible voters from the rolls.

3. This 21st-century poll tax is also part of a plan to pit Americans against each other based on what we look like, where we live, or what’s in our wallets — disproportionately targeting working people, young voters, new Americans, married women who’ve changed their names, and Black and brown communities.

This new order could silence the voices of more than 21 million Americans, and it’s part of a larger anti-democracy plot to seize power.

If you’re outraged about Trump’s latest scheme to rig elections and stop the American people from holding him accountable at the ballot box, rush a donation to fight back against the MAGA voter suppression agenda.

Take it from our CEO, Lauren Groh-Wargo: “This is about locking the doors to democracy and handing the keys to oligarchs and super rich campaign donors. We’ve faced down power-hungry politicians before — and every time, we come back tougher, louder, and more relentless.”

Let’s do it again.

At Fair Fight, with your support, we’ve helped elect voting rights champions up and down the ballot, stopped or limited the effects of voter suppression strategies, and delivered on the American promise of free and fair elections.

Now we’ve got to continue taking on the MAGA authoritarian agenda.

But this work is only possible with donors like you. Will you make a donation of any amount to help defend our democracy and ensure the freedom to vote?

Thank you,

The Fair Fight Team
