With confidence in America’s elections reaching the level of a crisis, FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon is leveraging his group’s grassroots community to help salvage election integrity.

The multi-million dollar National Election Protection Initiative will be chaired by renowned conservative attorney and elections expert Cleta Mitchell, FreedomWorks announced in an exclusive to Newsmax. (Cleta Mitchell has appeared on IFA prayer calls!)

“In my work as an election law attorney, a candidate, an officeholder, and an election volunteer over many years, I have seen firsthand the need for election laws and procedures that protect the integrity of every vote and voter, and the damage done to our country by violations of the duly enacted election laws of the state,” Mitchell wrote in a statement to Newsmax.

“What is urgently needed today is the involvement by conservative and patriotic Americans in the election process at the local and state levels, challenging the vast resources of the leftist groups who have dominated election activism for too long.”

Mitchell will lead a program focused on election integrity education, training, and deployment, including registering voters, recruiting and training local activists, working as election officials, monitoring election procedures, and identifying needed changes and reforms in election administration and law. . . .

“The integrity of our elections are the bedrock of our Republic and confidence in these institutions is on the decline,” according to FreedomWorks, which found in its Feb. 12-15 nationwide poll of 1,000 registered voters:

• 79% support a photo ID requirement for voting.
• 72% support mandates for states to clean their voter rolls within 6 months before an election.
• 65% support making Election Day a federal holiday to re-establish in-person voting.
• 48% do not think every registered voter should automatically receive a mail-in ballot.
• 38% strongly oppose the government providing candidates with an additional $6 for every $1 in small-dollar donations raised by certain candidates, as proposed in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 1 election bill.

Notably, Democrat efforts to reduce Election Day, expand no-excuse absentee balloting, and federalize elections have led to alarming support for the following, according to the poll:

• 43% believe the federal government should set election laws for all states.
• 49% believe states should require at least 15 days of early voting.
• 56% believe the federal government should require same-day voter registration. . . .

“America is experiencing a crisis of confidence in its elections,” the statement began. “The 75 million Americans who voted for President Trump’s reelection have doubts in that outcome. On the other side of the aisle, the Democratic Party spent four years spreading fringe theories about Russian interference in the 2016 election.” . . .

A 2018 poll by Scott Rasmussen found two thirds of Democrats (64%) believe Hillary Clinton would have won without any Russian interference. . ..

The National Election Protection Initiative’s 6-point agenda includes:

1. Identify key states and counties where election integrity has been an issue, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
2. Clean up the voter rolls in those states, including mobilizing grassroots efforts on local levels to root out illegitimate voter registrations.
3. Voter registration drives to maximize finding more legal voters.
4. Partner with groups and movements with like-minded election integrity reform goals.
5. Deliver and educate more local election officials, including poll workers and poll watchers in each of the target states over the next political cycle, ensuring accurate talking points, resources, and legal assistance.
6. Lobby against federal and state legislation that threatens election integrity

On the last key point of emphasis, the program vowed:

“In addition to playing a leading defense against the Democratic power grab in Washington, we will promulgate model policies that secure America’s elections and can be replicated across different states. These include policies to repeal COVID-related election changes as the pandemic fades; policies to promote in-person voting with paper ballots; and policies to oppose same-day voter registration, automatic registration, and registration of 16-year-olds.” . . .
