## Resource

Democratic state parties are mobilizing ten thousand volunteers to guard polling places ahead of the midterms, fearing federal interference — including potential immigration agents at voting sites. Activists are preparing mass protests and legal briefs for judges to counter any election sabotage attempts, citing unprecedented actions by the current administration. While officials call these measures “common sense,” courts have repeatedly blocked similar pre-election changes, and election officials warn many proposals can’t be implemented in time. The stakes feel higher than ever, as democracy faces a defining moment fueled by past rhetoric and actions. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
