🗳️ The SAVE Act is Trump’s latest power grab to restrict voting as he demands to “nationalize” elections.
FBI raids, threats to surround polls, and intimidation of election officials make it clear: In 2026, the right to vote will demand a fight to vote.

The SAVE Act and the Election Power Grab

Protecting the right to vote isn’t optional - it’s our duty. Every decision, every policy, every action is guided by the Constitution, the rule of law, and the principle that every eligible voice counts.

"The retaliation is the federal government says, 'Well, if you don't give us this, then we won't give you that.' That kind of childish play on state and federal resources is really undesirable and unpresidential." - Sec. Shirley Weber, PhD

Trump’s approval is hitting historic lows. Americans are sending a clear message: no nationalization of elections, no handing over unredacted voter data, and no voter suppression bill.

The SAVE Act is a terrible solution in search of a problem. Not only would it make it nearly impossible for citizens to vote-by-mail, costing all of us time & money, it would make voting harder for married women & anyone who can’t take time off work, or drive, or walk to vote.

🚨🚨🚨 The House passed the SAVE America Act last night.
It’s not about election security - it’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.
The Senate must stop it.

State election officials are facing mounting pressure - from Trump’s DOJ suing states for private voter data, Trump calling to "nationalize" elections, and the GOP reintroducing the SAVE Act.
Democratic Secretaries of State like @shennabellows.bsky.social will be ready for anything. 💪

The SAVE America Act goes even further than the SAVE Act - forcing Americans to show citizenship papers not just to register, but at the polls.
Driver’s licenses, REAL IDs, military IDs, and Tribal IDs wouldn’t be enough.
This is voter suppression on overdrive. (1/6)

🚨 JUST IN: Court documents show the FBI relied on debunked 2020 election fraud claims to seize Fulton County vote records.
Now, with the SAVE America Act back, Trump and his admin are pushing laws to restrict voting ahead of 2026 - based on more lies and conspiracy theories.

The Courts agree: the DOJ’s request for your sensitive personal information is illegal.
As long as I am your Secretary of State, I will protect Arizona’s voters. I look forward to our day in court.

Donald Trump is claiming he “pardoned” Tina Peters.
Here’s the fact: a president cannot pardon a state conviction - presidential pardons apply only to federal offenses. Tina Peters was convicted in CO state court, under CO law.
In CO, we answer to the law - not Trump & his political power plays.

Trump is floating the idea of “nationalizing” elections and having the federal government take over voting.
That’s a direct threat to the Constitution. States and local election officials run elections for a reason: to keep power decentralized and protect the people from government overreach.
