What Civic Renewal Looks Like in Georgia
What I saw on Saturday offers a glimpse of the answer. It came from neighbors who showed up for each other while doing their civic duty, and who were kind to one another along the way. From the kindness of people who want to build a better future.
That is the country I want my son to grow up in, and it is one we build ourselves.
I’m grateful to the Project HALO team, the Clarkston volunteers, and everyone who walked through that door.
Rushed Federal Mail Ballot System Could Block Ballots for Millions of Voters This Fall
The Chamberlain Network is alarmed by a whistleblower disclosure revealing that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continued building a new federal mail-ballot screening system despite court orders restricting its implementation—and that the rushed, insufficiently tested system could prevent large numbers of eligible voters from receiving their ballots this fall.
We call on USPS to halt the portal’s launch and on Congress to demand full transparency from Postmaster General David Steiner about why USPS agreed to build this system at all.
Delayed Ballots Still Count: The Chamberlain Network Applauds the Supreme Court's Decision Protecting Mail Ballot Grace Periods in Watson v. RNC
The Chamberlain Network today welcomed the Supreme Court's decision in Watson v. Republican National Committee, upholding a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they are received within five days after Election Day.
Intimidation, Not Investigation: The Chamberlain Network Decries FBI Raid on Ohio Organizing Collaborative
The Chamberlain Network today condemned the FBI's raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC), a Cleveland-based nonprofit that helps underrepresented communities register to vote and participate in American civic life. On Thursday, more than 100 federal agents descended on the organization's offices, showed up at staff members' homes, followed workers to their children's schools, and seized laptops and electronic devices.
The Chamberlain Network Warns Commutation of Tina Peters Sentence Makes Elections Less Safe
Governor Polis’ commutation of Tina Peters’ sentence sends the wrong message: that political pressure can soften consequences for compromising election security. Peters was not punished for her opinions. She was convicted because she broke the rules that protect every voter’s ballot.
The Chamberlain Network Demands State Leaders Defend the Right to Vote of All Americans After Supreme Court Ruling Overturns Voting Rights
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais, a decision that substantially weakened Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. State leaders must now step up for the rights of all their citizens, not just those who look and vote like them.
The Chamberlain Network Condemns the Executive Order Usurping State Authority Over Elections
The Chamberlain Network condemns President Trump’s new executive order that directs the federal government to compile a national voter eligibility list in order to determine who may vote by mail. This order is a direct and unconstitutional attempt by the federal government to nationalize our elections.
“Veterans served to defend a country where every citizen has a voice” TCN Condemns Sweeping Election Power Grab
The Chamberlain Network condemns the Trump Administration’s most recent Executive Order – Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections – a sweeping order which consolidates executive power over elections. This order will disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters, including members of the military and their families serving overseas.
