one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.
there will not be “swing states” in november. there will be, depending on national conditions, anywhere from 25 to 75 competitive House races. they will be in states led by republicans and democrats, and the key voters will likely be people who swing between the parties.
the current margin for control of the House is like two seats.
as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

you personally have the ability to secure elections for yourself and your neighbors.
Did you see Jay Inslee's suggestion we should pressure the Senate to pass a low keeping ICE away from polling places? May as well be ready for 2028.
I just started a letter to both my senators and state officials, which will also double as a letter to the editor.
I’ve been saying Governors should deploy national guard and every state trooper along with Mayors deploying local law enforcement at critical polling places.
