The FBI has invited elections officials around the country for a call later this month on the agency's "preparations" for the high-stakes midterm elections, according to a letter sent to election officials and reviewed by ABC News.

The letter, which went out earlier this week, states that the FBI call will also include election officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, United States Postal Inspection Service and Election Assistance Commission.

"To prepare for the 2026 US midterm elections, your election partners at the FBI, DOJ, DHS, USPIS, and the EAC would like to invite you to a call where we can discuss our preparations for the cycle, as well as updates and resources we can provide to you and your staff… We look forward to speaking with you in support of the 2026 midterm elections,” FBI staffer Kellie Hardiman, who signed the letter with the title "FBI Election Executive," wrote.

An FBI official told ABC News that the election executive role is not a new role. There have previously been designated executives that serve as the point person to work with elections officials on election-related matters and to speak on behalf of the FBI in that capacity, the FBI official added.

1. I have to wonder what they have up their sleeves. It

won't be good.

I hope you are doing well, BRDS. I miss working with you on MIRT.

2. This FBI is concerning

because they are manufacturing a justification for further action that is not needed (while actual election interference is ignored).

Am hanging in there! The cold snap that has gone on for weeks now with frozen mounds everywhere, is a PITA. Definitely need a warm spell to get rid of the glaciers.

Hope you are doing well. This administration just adds unnecessary stress on everyone who is just trying to deal with their own issues.

3. As I keep saying

And only now it’s finally dawning on everyone. I’ve been saying this since the moment he was deselected, I doubt we will have midterms

And I still stand by it.

He’s going to fuck with them so throughly and create chaos that it will throw them in doubt.

This is why he took the ballots from Georgia illegally. He’s going to manufacture 12k votes from whole cloth and claim the 2020 elections were stolen from him

He’ll release those “findings” sometime around October, but up until then, he and his fellow morons are going to put in place various things to completely fuck the system and to sow doubt.

And the complicit fascist right wing congress and supremes will go right along with it. Because they want to keep their jobs.

6. Something tells me things will be so messed up in this country by October

People will crawl to the voting booths to NOT vote repuke and against him indirectly.

7. I couldn't agree more Java

the staging going on by the Republicans, focused on this election is incredible....foreshadowing and skulduggery is running rampid through their party, across the nation............

They are going for broke, and will not settle for anything except a corrupted clean sweep of the elections across our land

They have already proven that they will let NOTHING stand in their way, no matter how corrupt and anti-constitutional......
If you think their apocalyptical tactics were bad in 2020, including J6th, I have a strong feeling: WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET

My feeling is that it went way way way past: "Katie Bar The Door" in the 2000 election, or probably even more likely... way back in the 1980 election......

4. We need outside observers.

The FBI has no business doing this.
