A lawyer formerly at Lex Politica, the law firm Chris Gober founded and used to help build Elon Musk's America PAC, has established a nonprofit called the Association of State and Local Election Officials. Its board includes Florida secretary of state Cord Byrd, current and former Georgia election officials, a Michigan state representative, and the president of Cleta Mitchell's Election Integrity Network. Byrd and Florida governor Ron DeSantis publicly announced the group in September, saying its work will begin after this year's election.

A group of Democratic senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, sent a letter demanding CMS administrator Mehmet Oz disclose any communications with groups pushing unfounded claims that left-wing organizations are stealing votes from nursing home residents. The letter asks CMS to rescind a July memo that replaced prior guidance allowing nursing home staff to assist residents with mail-in voting or transportation to polls, and to reinstate the 2020 and 2024 voting guidance instead.

Cleta Mitchell's Election Integrity Network is telling supporters to call and email nursing homes, care homes and assisted-living facilities ahead of the midterms, alleging without evidence that left-wing groups are manipulating residents' ballots. The group has distributed a toolkit and shared maps identifying care facilities in competitive congressional districts, calling residents potential targets for "political predators." Mitchell cited a disputed 2020 Wisconsin case, rejected by the state's election commission, as justification; neither she nor the network responded to requests for comment.
