<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Former Vice President Kamala Harris shared a video on social media on September 15, 2026, urging voters to check their registration status to increase Democratic turnout in the midterm elections, stating the goal is to make the election "too big to rig."</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Harris has focused on voter mobilization since losing the 2024 election, often appearing with Democratic candidates to encourage voter turnout. However, some members of her party have expressed opposition to her campaigning, citing concerns that her role in the Biden administration may be polarizing.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"I have two requests of you. No. 1, please check your voter registration status," Harris said. "I know you’re pretty sure that you are registered, but you know they’ve been cheating out there. They’ve been purging voter rolls. So please check your voter registration status. And then No. 2, text everyone on your group chat and let them know I asked you to ask them to check their voter registration status.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">"We gotta win," she added. "There’s so much at stake, and we gotta be too big to rig. They’re gonna try and cheat. Let’s be too big to rig."</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Harris’s language resembles that of President Donald Trump, who used the phrase "too big to rig" during the 2024 presidential election, which he won against Harris. Trump has continued to promote this idea while in office, encouraging his supporters to vote in large numbers to prevent electoral manipulation.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump has a history of alleging electoral fraud against Democrats and has maintained that the 2020 presidential election was rigged after losing to former President Joe Biden.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In connection with the investigation into the 2020 election, the FBI seized thousands of ballots from Fulton County, Georgia, during a search warrant execution in January.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Harris is considered a front-runner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination but has maintained a low profile leading up to the November elections. Key Democratic candidates have distanced themselves from her support, with Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) stating he would not run for president if Harris decided to enter the race.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Newsom, who is currently polling behind Harris among potential Democratic nominees, noted that the two share a significant voter base.</p>
