An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Trump From Stealing The 2026 Elections.

Trump and his allies have raised or discussed extraordinary measures that could affect the conduct or outcome of the elections, including the possible deployment of military forces in connection with voting. Congress must make clear now—before Election Day—that any illegal attempt to intimidate voters, interfere with voting, or overturn lawful election results will be investigated and resisted. From The Hill: 10/2/26; “Why Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act before, during, or after the midterms.” Summary of key points: Throughout this year, Trump and his allies have repeatedly raised the prospect of federalizing election security. In February, Trump said Republicans should “nationalize the voting” in as many as 15 places. Steve Bannon went further, calling for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. In May, Trump announced an “Election Integrity Army in every single State,” and the Justice Department is preparing to deploy 1,000 poll monitors. Now, statements from the Defense Secretary, FBI director, and Homeland Security secretary about protecting elections from foreign actors and responding to threats or violations of law raise concerns that federal force could be used if the administration declares an election-related “threat”—whether genuine, exaggerated, or manufactured. […] https://tinyurl.com/4je9wbzr Trump has repeatedly claimed sweeping executive authority and denounced federal judges who have tried to restrain his administration. Mike Johnson has also raised the possibility that newly elected Democrats could face challenges to being seated based on allegations of voting irregularities, even without a court finding that those allegations are valid. These threats should alarm Americans of all parties. I hope you will speak out forcefully against any attempt by Trump, his administration, Congressional allies, or anyone else to block duly elected candidates from taking office, interfere with lawful voting, or overturn legitimate election results. The fundamental rule of democracy is simple: voters choose their leaders. Politicians do not get to discard that choice because they dislike the outcome.
