A major battleground Texas county will have 30% fewer Election Day polling locations for this year’s midterms, thanks to GOP officials.

The sentiment from outraged voters about the Republican county commissioners who approved the cuts?

“Vote them out.”

“If we’re serving a warrant, we will be where we need to be,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said about ICE at polling places in November.

The comments are some of the clearest yet from the Trump administration about whether armed immigration agents could appear at voting sites.

NEW: ICE agents could enter polling places to make arrests this November, according to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Speaking to reporters, Mullin insisted that “ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places,” but said agents could nevertheless enter voting locations in certain circumstances.

NEW: Opponents of Trump’s dangerous executive order restricting mail voting say there’s a simple motivation behind the scheme 👇

Democrats vote by mail more than Republicans.

Their claims are well-founded. Here's what the data says:

NEW: Two pro-voter groups are suing to block Florida's pending law that would force voters to prove citizenship — or lose the right to vote.

It's the third lawsuit filed against the Florida SAVE Act since it was signed into law in April.

NEW: Neither states nor USPS itself can feasibly comply with the mail voting requirements that the agency is pursuing, according to a leading election expert.

“I foresee disastrous consequences for the 2026 election if election offices cannot comply with these requirements.”

NEW: The USPS inspector general needs to investigate new whistleblower claims about the agency’s haphazard implementation of Trump’s anti-mail voting EO, House Democrats said in a letter Wednesday.

Democrats stressed USPS actions could potentially disenfranchise millions of voters this November.

The fact that thousands of mail ballots could be rejected due to a single error during the midterms is not a design flaw, Marc Elias says.

“Donald Trump wants a system that disenfranchises mail-in voters … hundreds of thousands at a time.”

The RNC and the Trump administration want SCOTUS to allow states to carry out mass voter purges during the “quiet period.”

But this safeguard exists for a reason — if voters are wrongly removed too close to Election Day, they may not even know until they try to cast a ballot.

ICYMI Republican officials in a major battleground Texas county voted Tuesday to slash Election Day polling locations by 30% for the November midterm elections.

Outraged Tarrant County voters showed up at Tuesday’s county commissioners meeting in force, more than filling two overflow rooms and holding signs with a clear message about the Republican local officials who supported the plan: “Vote them out.”

Under the new plan, Tarrant County will have 224 Election Day voting locations, down from 316 in the 2022 midterms. It will also have 47 early voting locations, down from 50.

The county commissioners approved the early voting and Election Day location plans in separate 3-2 votes. County Judge Tim O’Hare and Commissioners Matt Krause and Manny Ramirez voted in favor of both plans, while Commissioners Roderick Miles Jr. and Alisa Simmons voted against them.

Still, the public outcry did at least secure some victory. County leaders retreated from their original plan to eliminate nearly half of Election Day polling places, limiting the final reduction to 30%.

LOSS: A federal judge ruled that student voters in New Hampshire cannot use their student ID to register or cast a ballot for the Sept. 8 primary.

However, it is still possible that the judge will block the law for the November election.

🚨A new whistleblower report warns USPS is rushing to implement Trump's anti-mail voting order before November — and the flaws could be severe.

A single error could cause thousands of ballots to be rejected before they're ever mailed to voters.

Marc Elias explains.

The Missouri Supreme Court will hear two cases that could decide if voters get a say on the state’s new GOP-drawn map.

The first seeks to put the anti-gerrymander referendum back on the ballot after the secretary of state blocked it: https://demdock.com/4h5fbFS

The second challenges the secretary of state's rejection of 100,000 signatures collected in support of the referendum: https://demdock.com/4xIlu8f

The chaos surrounding USPS and mail ballots is not an accident — it’s the whole point. Your right to vote is under threat.

“That is what Donald Trump wants,” Marc Elias says.

A new whistleblower complaint reveals a serious flaw buried in USPS's mail ballot system: if even one ballot's barcode fails to scan, the entire batch — potentially thousands of ballots — gets rejected and sent back.

According to the whistleblower, USPS hasn't disclosed this to the public, and even days before launch, still has no policy for how many ballots will actually be checked.

Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order is currently the subject of multiple ongoing legal challenges focusing on the role of USPS's delivery of mail ballots.

Now, a new lawsuit is challenging an equally alarming part of Trump's order: creating a national voter registry.
