We Can Break Partisan Gridlock by Achieving Three Goals
40% of Americans still don’t believe the results of the last Presidential election. For democracy to work we need people to vote and to believe in the election outcome.
Through gerrymandering and other partisan practices, only 10% of Congressional elections are competitive. That’s no way to make politicians compete for votes.
Legislative practices, outdated election laws and the growing importance of big money, make our government too much of an inside game.
Reform Elections Now (REN) is a non-partisan group of law and business school graduates looking for ways to eliminate the government paralysis which is threatening the health of our democracy and making the United States uncompetitive.
REN Event Announcement
Eliminate Risks to the 2026 Election: Vote Early and In-Person
Thursday, October 22 5:30PM
As the midterm elections approach, the REN team is focused on three ways President Trump could seek to influence voting: encouraging state officials to trim voter rolls, pressing states to impose stricter mail-ballot requirements, and positioning ICE near polling places in ways that could create confusion and discourage eligible voters.
These potential actions underscore the value of preparing early. Checking your registration before the deadline and voting early in person, where available, can help you avoid mail-ballot complications and leave time to navigate unexpected obstacles.
Join us as we explain why voting early and in person remains a practical, effective response—and how making a plan now can help protect your opportunity to participate.
