Secretary Noem’s press conference today on the latest version of the SAVE Act makes one thing clear: the Trump administration and its allies will do whatever it takes to take power away from voters by making it harder for Arizonans and Americans across the country to vote.
February 13, 2026 at 7:43 PM
The ruling regime is trying to pass the SAVE Act to keep Americans from voting so they can seize and hold onto power.
The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R
New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting
The “show your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The FBI’s justification for raiding the Fulton County election office was based on lies that have been repeatedly debunked.

Instead of wasting time and resources relitigating 2020, we should be focused on ensuring every voter can make their voice heard in the 2026 midterms
The FBI finally released the grounds for its Fulton County ballot raid: a laundry list of debunked claims recycled from "Stop the Steal" fanatics.

The SAVE Act could block 69 MILLION women from voting.

The bill would require people to show a birth certificate or passport to register to vote.

This would threaten the vote of millions of women who changed their last name after marriage.

This is a voter suppression bill.

Election officials are on the frontlines of our democracy, ensuring every voter can make their voice heard.

They understand the needs of their communities best and should never have to contend with federal overreach or foreign actors attempting to disrupt our elections.

While the rising threats against our elections and freedom to vote can feel demoralizing, it’s important to remember that election officials have trusted processes and a sworn duty to protect voters and uphold their right to safe & accessible elections. 🗳️

"Absentee voting is not a “privilege” that voters gamble on at their own risk...Treating it otherwise weakens the shared understanding that every valid vote deserves to be counted and protected."

This week, Donald Trump announced his intent to “nationalize” elections. This proposal would dismantle a system that has always been run by trusted state and local officials, from volunteer poll workers to county clerks and registrars. This isn't reform, it's a blatant power grab.
FLAG: Trump said today that Republicans should nationalize elections — continuing to double down on his 2020 election lies.

The suggestion runs contrary to the Constitution's delegation of election administration to state governments.

Trump's latest call to nationalize elections is another desperate attempt to see just how far he can go in meddling with our elections and silencing voters.

This moment calls on us to come together and send a clear message: hands off our vote.

Recorder Heap must resign immediately.

When a chief election official refuses to condemn violent political rhetoric—and instead uses it to attack checks and balances—he disqualifies himself from office.

Arizona voters deserve nonpartisan, accountable election officials. Period.

There’s no denying that this week’s FBI raid of the Fulton County election office was about silencing voters and seizing control over our elections.

It’s an attempt to undo how elections in America have always been conducted—by trusted local election officials.

States, not the federal government, have the authority to run elections, including maintaining accurate voter rolls. The Trump administration’s aggressive efforts to access voter files is a clear attempt to take that power away.

NEW: Georgia's @allvotingislocal.bsky.social said the real reason for the seizure of Fulton County’s ballots is to fuel Trump’s false narratives — not to uncover an actual crime.

The response comes after the FBI raided the county’s election office this morning searching for 2020 election records.

The events in Minneapolis this weekend are devastating. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse with the VA, was killed while trying to protect a woman during a violent ICE operation. The Administration's lies about what happened throw salt on the wound of a tragic loss.

Your vote is protected every step of the way. Behind the scenes, election officials follow rigorous chain-of-custody procedures to secure ballots and ensure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for a democracy where every voice could be heard—because voting is the foundation of civil rights, economic justice, and freedom.

The Voting Rights Act was hard-won because he refused to accept a democracy that excluded Black and Brown voters.
