Hi,

Donald Trump has launched an all-out effort to rig the midterms — and
there's a real chance that next year's elections may not be free and fair.

Trump is preparing to issue an executive order to ban mail-in voting, and
says he will also require all voters to display a voter ID at the polls.^1
Election experts even warn that Trump may attempt to station ICE agents in
front of polling places to frighten away voters in Democratic precincts.^2

All of that would be blatantly illegal, but when has that ever stopped
him?

Meanwhile, Texas rammed through a sketchy mid-decade gerrymander to steal
five congressional seats, and Republicans are pushing to gerrymander other
red states as well.^3 House Republicans also passed legislation requiring
voters to show a birth certificate or passport matching the name on their
current ID when they register.^4

We've already mobilized tens of thousands of people to contact Congress
and defend the midterms. Now, in the face of these rising threats, we must
ramp it up.

Trump is hell-bent on rigging the midterms because he knows there's a very
good chance that Republicans will lose any free and fair election.

Trump's net approval ratings have dropped by 20 points. His signature "One
Big Beautiful Bill" is wildly unpopular. Even on issues that have been
traditional strengths for him, like his handling of the economy, voters
now give him negative marks.^5

For Trump to continue his authoritarian assault on the Constitution and
the rule of law, he needs to keep Congress in Republican control. That's
why he's going all out to rig the midterms for his party.

Demand Progress has been fighting to defend election integrity since our
founding, but we've never faced a threat like this.
