ACRU’s Blackwell: COVID-19 and international best practices for free, fair, and safe elections
This pandemic may seem as though it's changed everything, but it has not changed the rules of our constitutional republic. Let's keep it that way.
Adams & von Spakovsky: America’s hidden voting epidemic? Mail ballot failures
A new report has revealed how vulnerable voting by mail can be. It should alarm all who are pushing for all-mail elections: Based on federal data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, millions of mail ballots were never counted as completed votes.
ACRU’s Blackwell: Honoring America’s Greatest Generation by Protecting Their Votes
America holds its “Greatest Generation” in a unique place of honor. We treasure the enormous contributions the men and women who are now our senior citizens have made to our freedom and prosperity, at home and abroad. Yet the sacred right of today’s seniors, both in the Greatest Generation and subsequent ones, to have their political choices honored at the ballot box, are at high risk because of vote fraud.
ACRU’s von Spakovsky: Governors can’t suspend the First Amendment
A federal district court judge has taught Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (a Democrat) a valuable lesson: The COVID-19 pandemic does not give her the right to suspend the First Amendment right of Kansans to practice their religious beliefs. Several other state and local officials should take heed, too. Kelly signed a series of executive orders restricting public and private activities due to the COVID-19 crisis. On April 7, she issued Executive Order 20-18, prohibiting “mass gatherings” of more than 10 people in a confined or enclosed space. Violators were subject to up to a year in prison, a $2,500 fine, or both.
ACRU’s Blackwell: We must protect military votes from Dem’s pro-fraud provisions
ACRU's Protect Military Votes project is dedicated to ensuring the security of military votes of service members overseas. ACRU Policy Board Member Ken Blackwell takes on House Democrats and reveals their plan to jeopardize the security of these votes. We are (somewhat) grateful they showed their hand during the COVID-19 relief bill debate, and grateful to Ken for fighting back.

Since the Minutemen of Lexington and Concord rallied to the cause of liberty in 1775, the American military has held a unique place of respect and affection in our national ethos.
ACRU’s Roman: Democrat Election Fraud Assistance Act of 2020
In this hard-hitting Townhall editorial, ACRU Action Fund President Lori Roman calls out the liberal game plan to codify vote fraud. Whatever happens with the Senate COVID-19 bill -- we now know their game.
Congressional Democrats Remove All Doubt That They Support Vote Fraud
Last minute insertions into the Senate’s Coronavirus relief bill by House Democrats would impose permanent changes to election protocols that will encourage and protect vote fraud. At ACRU, we think it is critically important for all our friends and supporters to understand the seriousness of what is at stake should Nancy Pelosi’s provisions pass Congress.
House Democrats plot federal takeover of local elections
ACRU Policy Board Member and Heritage Foundation Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky takes aim at Congressional Democrat’s latest attack on voting integrity, H.R. 4, which Hans calls, “The Election Fraud Advancement Act.” This bill would “have DC take over state and local elections and stop reforms to improve security of the voting process.” The bill uses false claims of “racism” to thwart a SCOTUS decision and limit the rights of state and local citizens. It’s awful. Call your Congressman.
