Election Bulletin from IAP

October 27, 2026

With just a week to go to election day, the Trump Administration continues its full court press to rig the vote.  Here in California, the Administration is pressing a bogus lawsuit without evidence that 20,000 foreign citizens are on the voter rolls. They’ve even sued in Alaska to block certification of the Senate race if the MAGA candidate doesn’t win.

To counter MAGA’s fatuous gambits, national Indivisible has a plan to make sure the votes are fully and fairly counted and that duly elected candidates are seated early next year. But here’s the rub: that plan is based on your participation.  You can get started at Hands Off Our Vote, the coalition project that Indivisible is part of to ensure a fair election.

Meanwhile, to help you engage locally, Indivisible Alta-Pasadena is planning to dispatch periodic election bulletins until the duly elected representatives are seated. We’ll be judicious, but we all must recognize that the stakes are high and only citizen engagement can prevent a stolen election. Make sure you're signed up to our newsletter to receive the election bulletins.

We also have a Signal channel where we will also be posting rapid response alerts from now until January 3rd 2027.

While Indivisible’s strategy is multi-faceted, at this point there are two main ways to engage:

• First, over the next week, focus on GOTV activities. You can help by phone banking, canvassing, and making last-minute contributions to boost candidate campaign budgets. There are opportunities through Indivisible nationally.  Just sign up here to get alerts. You also can spend a few minutes a day posting Indivisible messages on social media. In California, the outcome of two neck-and-neck races are expected to be crucial in which party controls the House in the next two years. They are District 22, where Democrat Randy Villegas is seeking to unseat Republican David Valadao. Then there is District 48 in East San Diego County, where Democrat Marni von Wilpert is running against Republican Jim Desmond. They still could use a hand.

• Second, after the election, Indivisible, 50501, and many other groups are planning to call people into the streets to show the Trump Administration that we won’t accept a stolen election. Locally, there will be a rally at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles at 11 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 7. This rally will focus on getting people organized for what could become large, ongoing demonstrations and economic boycotts until duly elected representatives are seated.
• Finally, remember that if you or a friend or relative have a problem voting, you can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE, where election experts and attorneys will be on standby to help resolve problems.
