Federal election panel lawyer said to brief Cleta Mitchell's group as it pushed proof of citizenship [View all]
A lawyer for a key federal voting agency was scheduled to brief a top anti-voting group last fall while it was pressuring the agency to require proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form.
A September 2025 email sent by the prominent anti-voting activist Cleta Mitchell to members of her group, the Election Integrity Network (EIN), advertised an “EAC update” by Heather Ford as part of the agenda for an upcoming call.
The email was obtained by ProPublica as part of its reporting on a recent meeting of anti-voting activists and administration officials. “EAC” refers to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which is charged with helping states administer smooth, fair, and secure elections.
Ford, a special counsel with the EAC since 2023 according to her LinkedIn profile, was to be joined on the EIN call by Heather Honey, an election conspiracy theorist who was appointed as Department of Homeland Security’s deputy assistant secretary for election integrity, and Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins (R), according to Mitchell’s email.
