Battlegrounds 2026: Iowa

2026 Battlegrounds Iowa
The Trump regime will stop at nothing to subvert the results of the midterms. We’re fighting back with a strategy to win and defend elections in key states, and Iowa is a top priority.

Trump plans to sabotage the midterms. We need a plan to stop him.

As soon as he took office again, Trump signaled he plans to interfere with the 2026 elections. He’s attempted to get rid of mail-in ballots and overhaul election administration via executive order, previewed more intimidation to come by raiding Fulton County, Georgia’s election hub and the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, and ordered his fascist buddies in Texas to gerrymander five new GOP House seats ahead of a wave of gerrymandering across the US after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. 

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We know more intimidation and sabotage is coming before, during, and after Election Day, and we need to be ready to mobilize to 1) WIN the midterms and 2) protect the results.

That’s where our Battlegrounds program comes in.

We’re countering Republican shenanigans with an aggressive Get Out The Vote and election defense strategy in seven key states, including Iowa, that are particularly vulnerable to GOP tampering. By organizing on the ground, talking to voters early, and building infrastructure and capacity for massive GOTV efforts, we’ll win these crucial midterm elections – and by training 10,000 volunteers for the Election Defense Corps, we’ll have the tools, resources, and people power to disrupt any GOP attempts to subvert the results.

Iowa is one of the seven states we’re organizing in to win the 2026 midterms and defend the results.

In 2024, Trump sued the Des Moines Register and its pollster for publishing a poll that showed Kamala Harris with a three-point lead days before the election, claiming “brazen election interference.” His lawsuit, now moved to state court, is a blatant attempt to quash press freedom and lay the groundwork to sow doubt about midterm results. Trump is the one interfering with free and fair elections – not the paper or pollster. We must be prepared to counter further meddling this November.

We need to act. Together, we can protect the integrity of Iowa’s elections, guarantee access to early voting sites, combat voter intimidation at the polls, and ensure that every single vote in Iowa is counted.
