A States United Action count finds nearly 200 Republicans who backed Trump's attempt to overturn 2020 on this November's ballot. Capital & Main profiled nine who have report cards on this site — six voted on Jan. 6 to throw out two states' results, and some won't say they'd certify the next one.
Vivek Ramaswamy pushed Ohio Republicans to put photo ID for voters into the state constitution, and it's on the November ballot. In 2024, Rhode Island election officials found dead residents' names on the nomination papers his presidential campaign submitted, and his campaign confirmed a hired signature-gatherer had forged them on purpose.
In audio from an October fundraiser obtained by the Nevada Current, Gov. Joe Lombardo called Nevada the easiest place in the nation to vote — then added 'unfortunately,' to laughter. He has spent his term trying to roll back mail voting, and twice vetoed bills to punish fake presidential electors.
Days before Election Day, the Justice Department asked a federal court to block Alaska from certifying its U.S. Senate result if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses by fewer votes than a second, unrelated candidate named Dan Sullivan received. 'I'm the one that said do it,' Trump told reporters. A Notre Dame election-law professor called it 'one of the worst' legal arguments he's ever seen.
Ayotte quietly signed HB 323, which strips college and high school IDs from New Hampshire's voter ID law. A federal judge ordered the state to stop telling students their IDs could never be used; on Oct. 22 the U.S. Supreme Court lifted that order over Justice Jackson's dissent.
At the only governor's debate, Tiffany said grant money from Mark Zuckerberg was one reason he tried to overturn the 2020 election. Those grants were legal at the time, and back then he was claiming mass illegal voting that two reviews never found.
Weeks before the election, Homeland Security agents knocked on doors in several states, asking about immigration status and whether people had voted. A federal judge ordered it stopped, finding DHS's target lists 'voluminous and unreliable' and the operation likely illegal voter intimidation.
Trump's Justice Department charged 28 green card holders in California with illegal voting or registration and had federal agents arrest at least 11 of them, while it sues to stop California from counting up to 20,000 ballots and threatens election workers with prosecution. California's attorney general called the 28 'a drop in the bucket.'
ProPublica reports Trump's DHS appointees asked the federal election-security agency to secretly acquire and hack a voting machine and send the results to the White House — while cutting a third of its staff and leaving states on their own before the midterms.
