An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Trump’s Attempt to Seize Control of America’s Elections

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The American people are watching you. What they see right now is a former president, Donald Trump, laying the groundwork to seize control of the election process ahead of the next national vote. Through executive orders, public threats, and pressure campaigns on state governments, he is trying to centralize power over voting, suppress mail-in ballots, and undermine the independence of local election officials. These are not reforms. They are steps toward rigging future elections—a slow-motion coup against the democratic system itself. Trump’s recent executive order on “election integrity” attempts to move authority away from the states and into his own hands, demanding proof-of-citizenship barriers, new ballot deadlines, and federal control of voting procedures. His public vow to end mail-in voting and attack the use of voting machines is not about honesty—it’s about control. At the same time, his administration has cut funding for election cybersecurity and oversight, weakening the very protections that keep our democracy safe. If you remain silent while one man dismantles trust in the vote, you are not being neutral—you are helping him succeed. When Americans see politicians manipulate election laws, the result is not confidence, it is cynicism, division, and despair. A nation that cannot trust its elections cannot govern itself. We demand that you: 1. Publicly oppose any executive order, bill, or policy that places federal elections under partisan or presidential control. 2. Protect mail-in voting, ballot access, and nonpartisan election administration in every state. 3. Restore full funding for election security, oversight, and transparency programs. 4. Condemn all attempts to use the military, law enforcement, or federal agencies to intimidate voters or suppress dissent. Your duty is not to any man or party—it is to the Constitution and the people who still believe that their votes matter. History will not forgive silence. This is the moment to prove that America’s legislators still serve democracy, not those who seek to destroy it.
