An Open Letter
To: Mayor Parker
From: A verified voter in Philadelphia, PA
November 3
As a Philadelphia voter watching documented federal pressure mount on local elections this cycle, I'm writing to request you take decisive action to protect our November 3, 2026 midterm process.
Reports from Harvard Law School, NPR, and Protect Democracy confirm the federal government is seeking voter roll data and attempting to influence state-level election administration. Philadelphia cannot afford to become a target of such encroachment.
I urge you to publicly commit to:
- Rejecting unauthorized federal demands for Philadelphia voter data
- Strengthening security protocols for all mail-in, early, and Election Day ballots
- Keeping election operations firmly under local, community oversight
- Establishing a rapid response team for any federal interference attempts
Our ballots belong to Philadelphians - not Washington. Please stand with us.
