What is Project 2025?
Project 2025 is a wish list of right-wing policies reflecting an extreme Christian nationalist ideology. Written by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 other conservative groups, it serves as a blueprint for a potential conservative administration. The project explicitly aims to further empower the presidency, embed ideologues in the nonpartisan civil service, and dismantle civil rights progress made over the past seven decades.

The full agenda spans over 900 pages and seeks to reshape the federal government in ways that benefit white nationalists, the wealthy, and religiously motivated bigots. Here’s how it would undermine voting rights and democracy:

Key Threats to Democracy from Project 2025:

  • Criminalizing the Voting Process:
    Project 2025 would shift responsibility for prosecuting election-related offenses from the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to the Criminal Division. This would allow sham investigations and aggressive prosecutions of voters and election officials, intimidating election workers and potentially criminalizing election administration disputes.

  • Allowing the Proliferation of Misinformation:
    The agenda would end federal efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to combat online disinformation and threats to secure elections. It would also reduce federal assistance to state and local governments close to Election Day, increasing vulnerability to false claims and election interference.

  • Granting Government Access to Voter Rolls:
    Project 2025 would require state and local governments to share voter registration databases with the federal government as a pre-condition for receiving DHS grants. This could lead to aggressive voter purges, interfering with state election procedures and undermining voter trust in the election results.
