Battlegrounds 2026: Michigan

Battlegrounds 2026: Michigan

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 Michigan 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 Michigan, 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.

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

Trump has been laser-focused on sowing discord and distrust in free and democratic elections in the Wolverine State. During his absurd primetime address about elections in July, Trump called for a renewed investigation into a debunked 2020 case of alleged voter registration fraud in Michigan. (The facts of the case prove that the state actually prevented fraud, as officials have explained time and time again.) Then, he ordered the Department of Justice to send poll monitors to Democratic cities on primary Election Day in August, including Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing. Trump is trying to confuse and intimidate voters in one of the most consequential battleground states in the US – and we must be prepared to take immediate action when he tries again in November.

We need to be ready to respond to Trump’s election sabotage. Together, we can protect the integrity of Michigan’s elections, guarantee access to early voting sites, combat voter intimidation at the polls, and ensure that every single vote in Michigan is counted.
