Confident-sounding ≠ accurate. AI can produce authoritative answers that are still incomplete/outdated. Before you trust the info, check the source & remember that your state's official election website is the best place to find out about your elections.

A list of links from Google’s AI is not a complete answer. Go straight to your state's official election site for the most up-to-date election information. https://t.co/fbSJq53od6

6/ As our own Dax Goldstein put it to ProPublica: "When federal agencies are misused and weaponized, people lose trust in government itself." The evidence here points the other way — toward election officials doing their jobs well. https://t.co/tQ6LKFtfqF

1/ New from @propublica: the Trump administration has spent 18 months and enormous federal resources hunting for noncitizen voters.

The result, from Jan. 2025 through May 2026: 41 people charged. 14 convictions or guilty pleas.

More than 150 million Americans voted in 2024.

5/ And the thin results are being used to justify more: threats to withhold federal funds from states, threats to prosecute local election officials, and a push for proof-of-citizenship requirements that would burden eligible voters.

.@statesunited finds AI falls short of giving voters the full picture.

"This is one of the first elections we're seeing…where AI is just everywhere. Even if you just Google it, the first thing that comes up is the AI overview." —Thania Sanchez, SVP of research & analytics

[CyberScoop @CyberScoopNews]

Like seemingly everything else these days, artificial intelligence will re-shape the way voters gather information on candidates running in the 2026 midterm elections.

In some ways, this is already the reality. Voters are increasingly turning to AI chatbots for information instead of Google. Political campaigns are deploying deepfakes of their opponents. And AI systems have been developed to carry out increasingly complex hacks. https://t.co/bXt969dUOh

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Attorney General Todd Blanche rejected the idea of a Justice Department independent from the White House, saying he would take into account President Trump’s views when directing federal law enforcement. https://t.co/YK9xtnWJ7D

[Secretary of State Tobias Read @ORSecretaryRead]

We’ve beaten them in court again and again. We’re prepared to do it as many times as it takes because we’re defending the Constitution and Oregonians' right to choose how we run elections.

When federal election security support was cut, states stepped in and partnered with trusted cybersecurity groups, tapped their National Guard units, and hired their own experts to keep our elections secure. https://t.co/PEzXNAPlew

Nobody is above the law & Americans across party lines agree. About 7/10 say the president should respect court rulings, even when they go against him. It's one of many findings on our polling hub, where we track what Americans think about our democracy. https://t.co/S5YmyVgmNx

[States United Democracy Center @statesunited]

A federal judge blocked the admin from using the USPS to restrict mail voting nationwide, the second hold on his elections executive order. As the court put it: the president plays no role in our elections. States run them, and courts keep affirming that. https://t.co/szxGU4iAnv

[States United Democracy Center @statesunited]

CISA is the federal agency meant to help protect our elections from cyber threats, but it's lost about a third of its workforce since 2025. So state and local officials have stepped up, partnering with trusted security groups to fill the gaps. https://t.co/PEzXNAPlew
