President Donald Trump said Monday that Republican lawmakers should nationalize voting — claiming a power explicitly granted to states in the U.S. Constitution.

Introducing the Election Technology Education Fund
Bolstering trust & confidence in elections by advancing education, research, and outreach
By Michelle M. Shafer
According to the Pew Research Center, confidence in election administration dropped from 81% in 2018 to 62% in 2020, partially recovering to just 73% by 2024. Additionally, a 2024 Rasmussen Reports survey found 38% of likely voters consider hand-marked paper ballots more trustworthy than touchscreen voting.
Public trust in election technology and U.S. elections remains deeply eroded, with this crisis stemming, in part, from sustained disinformation campaigns targeting election technology. Bad actors exploit gaps in technical knowledge, treating policy disputes as evidence of systemic failures and blurring advocacy as technical findings.
As a result, the Election Technology Education Fund (ETEF)—a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3)—was formed to enable us to counter doubt with transparency, misinformation with education, and fear with facts.
