A new group called the Democracy Defense Project has been launched in an effort to preserve the integrity of American elections. Led by former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu and former U.S. Rep. Dick Swett, the bipartisan coalition aims to protect the transparency, safety, and security of elections. The group plans to address issues that may undermine election integrity and work towards improving election processes to restore public confidence in the system.
Sununu emphasized the importance of respecting officials who conduct elections and supporting their efforts to uphold the law effectively. The project will use New Hampshire as a model due to the state’s commitment to successful elections. Swett, who co-chaired the Special Committee on Voter Confidence in New Hampshire, expressed his excitement to work with Sununu on reinforcing trust in the state’s elections. The goal is to ensure transparent and accountable elections that New Hampshire voters can rely on, contributing to the national conversation on election fairness.
The Democracy Defense Project’s Advisory Board includes former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, among other prominent leaders. The group’s mission is to safeguard election integrity across multiple states and advocate for measures that promote confidence in the electoral process. With support from influential figures in New Hampshire politics and beyond, the project aims to strengthen the democratic foundation of the nation’s elections.
