Today, American politics are more divisive than ever. An erosion of faith in our democracy, and the proliferation of bad actors spreading election disinformation have caused false narratives about “stolen elections” to take root. The mistrust that many voters have for our electoral system puts our democracy at grave risk.
A Bipartisan Solution
The Democracy Defense Foundation is an organization led by a bipartisan group of former elected officials and leaders across Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin who are working to defend the transparency, safety, security and validity of our nation's electoral system. We publicly defend those who have sworn to uphold the rule of law and will be an active voice against any attempts to undermine lawful election processes and outcomes. It is time for those who know better to speak up and that's what DDF will do.
Coming together to engage in constructive dialogue around the election process will…
