➜ In early February, Musk’s team laid off 130 staffers at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or CISA, including 10 regional security specialists who worked with local and state election officials.
➜ Also in February, Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded a key FBI task force charged with investigating foreign efforts to influence elections.
➜ Bondi has also placed an FBI task force that investigated threats against election workers and polling places on the chopping block, their fate is still up in the air.
➜ In March, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem canceled the funding for national information sharing efforts that helped state and local election officials detect and ward off coordinated hacking attacks and other threats.
This administration has placed a premium on appointing election deniers to positions of power over our elections. From Musk, Noem, and Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel and the new head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights division, Harmeet Dhillon, people who spread and defended Trump's "big lie" are in place to wreak havoc on our fundamental right to vote.

CNN: Trump is dismantling election security networks. State officials are alarmed [[link removed]]
John,
The United States has a history of strong preparation and quick work by an information-sharing and analysis network of hundreds of federal, state, and local election, cybersecurity, and law enforcement officials to protect our elections. It's a history we should be proud of.
But now key parts of this security network, much of it built over the past decade, are being systematically dismantled by the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, a CNN investigation has found – leaving election offices across the country scrambling to protect against future threats.
In an age of cyber attacks, poorly funded election equipment breaking down, or anti-voting activists trying to skew the results, these moves to remove the guardrails on our elections are a dangerous step away from democracy.
That's why our work is so critical. We need to get the word out about these threats to voting rights -- all while we work to register new voters, activate registered voters, and fight suppressive laws to make sure every vote counts.
Help multiply our efforts to defend voting rights by chipping in $25 or whatever you can today to make sure every voice is heard in our elections >> [[link removed]]

The simple truth is this: We can counter the awful anti-democratic voter suppression provisions enacted into law in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and beyond over the last few years.
We can protect our democracy from those who want to lie to keep themselves in office -- or scheme their way back. We can increase voter participation and end the tactics -- like gerrymandering -- that are used to silence our voices.
We can make our country the democracy we've all been promised. But we need your help.
Fuel our work this year with $25 or however much you can to help us protect the right to vote and so much more from the threats we're facing >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights? [[link removed]]
