John,
Our elections are under assault from partisans who want to make it harder for certain people to vote and easier for one political party to seize the administration of elections for political gain.
We have to stop this.
From an exodus of election officials, to inadequate funding of critical election infrastructure, to the potential for election manipulation, our democracy is at risk.
U.S. elections are facing existential threats that undermine the operations of our elections and are contributing to the loss of Americans’ confidence in a key democratic institution.
Issue One’s newly released report, “3 Existential Threats to Our Elections,” unpacks the dangers facing our elections in the coming years, and calls for swift action by Congress and social media companies to address these threats — including increasing federal and state funding for elections, passing legislation that prevents election subversion and protects election workers, and countering election disinformation.
Read our report to learn more.
Onward,
Amisa Ratliff Research Associate, Issue One
