Hi Revealer,

Today, we’re releasing our latest investigation ([link removed]) into the attack on U.S. democracy: Our analysis of state legislatures nationwide shows that since the 2020 election, lawmakers have been attempting to dramatically increase law enforcement presence in voting.

In 42 states, lawmakers have attempted to pass laws that would create new election investigation agencies, establish criminal penalties for election offenses or further empower law enforcement officials to investigate such crimes.

The proliferation of election crime legislation represents the most intense voter suppression threat in decades and comes in direct response to former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was fraudulent.

Fierce, unflinching investigative reporting is one of the few ways we can confront the existential threat to democracy. That’s why we won’t give up.
Will you donate today to help us keep up the fight? ([link removed] &utm_source=reveal-appeal&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=membership_2022_democracy&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d0000033NZAAA2)

In a new Reveal episode ([link removed]) to be released Saturday, our reporters travel to Arizona to understand how these new laws are being applied – and to whom.
As the midterm elections creep closer, the need for investigative journalism grows only more urgent. You can rely on us to keep seeking out confidential documents, convincing difficult sources to talk and prying loose data from secretive agencies to sort out fact from fiction. We’re also helping local newsrooms cover attacks on democracy in their communities through our Reveal Reporting Network ([link removed]) .

But this work isn’t free. We rely on the support of individuals like you. Will you donate today ([link removed] &utm_source=reveal-appeal&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=membership_2022_democracy&utm_content=&utm_term=&campaign=7015d0000033NZAAA2) to support democracy?
