## Resource

Cleta Mitchell’s anti-voting group recently released its midterm playbook, urging lawmakers and election officials to severely restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, and impose rigorous ID requirements. This is Project 2026, and Republicans are coming directly for your vote. In this video, Marc Elias breaks down the key propositions that will make it harder for you to cast your ballot in the midterms and beyond.
