Across the country, states are already deep into preparations for the 2026 elections. Now, at the last moment, the federal government is attempting to meddle in those preparations and potentially threaten countless Americans’ right to vote.

Dismantling these protections is a betrayal of American families, and the stakes are too high to allow this administration to once again put profits over people.

This rule is a clear attempt by the federal government to interfere in elections it has no power to control.

The Constitution is clear. Every person living in the United States, regardless of immigration status, must be counted in the Census.
