IMPORTANT ISSUES! THESE ARE NOT SOLICITATIONS 

Hi there, It’s Monday. The GOP’s efforts to redraw maps in southern states has led to mass voter confusion, with voters not knowing what district they’re in, what candidates are running, or even when primary elections are. Hawaii’s legislature passed a bill combatting corporate money in state elections — a first-in-the-nation effort to fight Citizens United. Donald Trump and his allies are increasingly signaling efforts to challenge, undermine, or delegitimize the 2026 midterm elections before votes are even cast. From attacks on mail voting and election administration to rhetoric suggesting unfavorable outcomes would be illegitimate, these actions are not isolated political complaints—they are part of a broader effort to shape the rules and public perception of the election itself. Yet too much media coverage treats these developments as campaign strategy, partisan messaging, or political spectacle rather than confronting the democratic stakes. When threats to election integrity are framed as routine politics, the public is left without a clear understanding of how trust in elections can be eroded long before Election Day. 🖊️ Add your name to call on major news organizations to cover these efforts with urgency and clarity—examining how attacks on election systems, voting access, and certification processes could affect the 2026 midterms...SUBSCRIBE TO JOIN WITH OTHERS AND SPEAK OUT! The public deserves reporting that clearly explains when democratic norms are under pressure and who stands to benefit from undermining confidence in elections.
