The FBI Went Down to Georgia: 2026 Elections Under Threat

February 9 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST

When the foundations of our elections are tested, understanding what’s happening—and what comes next—has never been more critical.

On Monday, February 9 at 12pm ET, join Lauren Groh-Wargo, Founder and CEO of Fair Fight Action, and Wendy Weiser, VP for Democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice, for an important discussion on the rapidly evolving challenges facing election administration. In the wake of a federal raid on Georgia’s Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections and a controversial request tied to Minnesota’s voter rolls, alarm is growing about the integrity of our electoral systems ahead of the midterms. Together, they will break down these fast-moving developments, assess the potential consequences of the anticipated Supreme Court Louisiana v. Calais decision, and explain what’s at stake for voters nationwide, while sharing how Fair Fight Action is mobilizing to protect voter access and energize turnout.

Get informed, get prepared, and don’t miss this timely conversation.
