The America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a nonprofit spin-off of the Trump administration established in April, launched a new “Center for Election Integrity” on August 19 at the Metro City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Materials obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) detail a sophisticated, well-funded effort by the newly founded nonprofit to engage state-level allies and coordinate with national right-wing groups working on elections to advance voter suppression measures embraced by the far right.

The new Center’s priorities echo many of the far Right’s for suppressing the vote, including “to amplify the importance of voter identification, require ballots to be returned by election day, stop the practice of ballot harvesting, ensure voter rolls are consistently cleaned and kept up to date, prohibit the privatization of elections, and litigate cases of voter fraud,” according to a press release.

The church appears to have been chosen strategically, as it is a Black venue and has been used by the Christian Right and Republicans in the past. During the U.S. Senate runoff elections, the PAC of the anti-LGBTQ hate group the Family Research Council held a “Georgia Pastors Briefing” at the church, where then Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) was attacked for his support of a woman’s right to choose, and U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R) “appeared in a special video message.”
