Two days ago, John, the FBI raided the Fulton County, Georgia, (home to Atlanta) Elections Operation Center. The Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC) reported that the activity was “apparently connected to the Trump administration’s long-held and disproven belief that Fulton’s handling of the 2020 presidential election was rife with fraud.”

You read that right -- instead of focusing on the crucial issues facing our country, MAGA and Trump have weaponized the investigative power of the Justice Department and the FBI to try and justify their lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

The search warrant authorized agents to search for and seize all “physical ballots from the 2020 general election” as well as ballot images produced by scanning ballots, voter rolls from that year, and tabulator tapes. It’s highly unlikely the investigation will turn up any vote count fraud connected to the 2020 election results in Fulton County as those results, like elsewhere, have been recounted, audited, and litigated already, costing millions in taxpayer dollars and finding no misdeeds.

That's not stopping the opponents of voting rights in the Trump administration, however. This is their perfect opportunity for a test run of their suppressive power ahead of November's midterm elections.

The scariest part? Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), was also seen on site during the raid.

Needless to say, the DNI doesn't have any law enforcement role and has no power over domestic issues. Senator Mark Warner, ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee (which is required by law to be informed of foreign intelligence issues), said they haven't been informed of any reason for her involvement, despite Trump later going on Truth Social to claim that an out-of-power former President Obama took millions of dollars in cash payments in 2020 meant for Iran and diverted the money to Italy to pay for the CIA to hack voting machines in coordination with China.

Feeling lost? Us too. Rather than understand the simple truth that voters changed their mind about Trump after his first term and wanted to give someone else a try in charge, these conspiracy theorists would rather believe that a country that hates America (Iran) wouldn't complain about not getting paid. And that Iran would be OK with a former president taking millions of dollars to pay an American ally (Italy) and a world superpower (China) to work with an American government agency (the CIA) to hack voting machines using satellites. All to change *just enough* votes to win.

While this sounds like the worst movie plot you've ever heard of, it's our reality, and worst of all, the people entrusted to run our country actually believe it. That's why we need to do everything we can as private citizens to defend our fundamental right to vote from the gullible mob and their cynical leaders who are willing to lie and more to maintain their grip on power.

The future of our country and our citizens depends on what we can accomplish together. Step up with $35 or whatever you can today to defend voting rights, from mail-in ballots to early voting and beyond >>

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?
