The clock is already ticking
We are coming down to the wire. In four days, Delaware can begin mailing some of the first absentee ballots of the 2026 midterm election. Just as we are entering these final days, the Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump what sounds like a sweeping election-integrity victory.
But read the fine print.
This victory is smaller — and far more fragile — than many headlines suggest.
The Supreme Court just cleared the way, for now, for three important parts of President Trump’s election-integrity executive order.
But then, buried in the Supreme Court’s ruling, is the sentence that should stop every American cold:
“States are not required to use the Lists.”
This means the federal government can do the work. Homeland Security can compare federal records. It can build a list identifying confirmed citizens and hand that information directly to state election officials.
And the state can simply throw it in the trash.
This is why we desperately need election integrity passed in the House and Senate to provide a stronger, nationwide solution. We need to light a fire under the legislators slow-walking this bill.
Send your urgent faxes NOW to demand a vote on this bill and urge support from both parties.
Here's some definite good news out of Trump's win at the Supreme Court. Because of it, the Department of Homeland Security can compile State Citizenship Lists identifying confirmed U.S. citizens for every state. Next, the Department of Justice can prioritize investigations and prosecutions involving federal ballots issued to people who are not eligible to vote.
And finally, the U.S. Postal Service can proceed with new safeguards for covered federal mail ballots, including unique barcodes, standardized envelopes, and state-provided lists identifying voters authorized to receive mail ballots.
However, states hostile to President Trump’s election-integrity policies do not suddenly have to clean their voter rolls because DHS hands them better information. Nor does this ruling force election officials in politically divided swing states to use these federal citizenship lists to determine voter eligibility.
This is precisely why Congress needs to act now.
We want to be clear. The Court didn’t hand Trump a final victory. Instead, the Court concluded that the states’ challenge came too early. The Justices specifically left the door open for opponents to challenge the actual rules once they were finalized.
Twenty-five states immediately walked through that door.
On August 26, these states filed a new lawsuit asking a federal court to stop the USPS election rule.
So while the Trump administration is racing to implement these safeguards before November, opponents are racing back into court to tear them down.
This is why Congress needs to act. We need to make these changes lasting. And to do that, we need to pass much-needed legislation. Tell Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.
We are reminding those on Capitol Hill that this is not an issue that can wait. In fact, this is one of the most important bills for the future of our nation. And you can help us wage this fight.
