The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday launched a multimillion-dollar effort it said is aimed at protecting the integrity of elections in the United States from the Trump administration.
The ACLU announced it is pouring nearly $25 million to safeguard voting rights from a “coordinated attack on multiple fronts,” asserting that “democracy hangs in the balance.” The other half of the historic national $50 million effort will be directed to political races and ballot measure campaigns, the liberal organization told NBC News, including state Supreme Court races in Montana and North Carolina, secretary of state races in Arizona and Nevada, and state legislative contests in Montana, Georgia, and Michigan.
