American Majority Action is a conservative 501(c)(4) non-profit political action organization which focuses on voter education and mobilization efforts.[1]

Founded in August 2010, American Majority Action is affiliated with American Majority, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that identifies and trains grassroots candidates and activists for local and state campaigns. The founder and president of American Majority Action is Ned Ryun.[2]

According to OpenSecrets, almost all of American Majority Action's 2022 funding came from dark money organization Restoration Action and its super PAC.[3] Conservative donor Richard Uihlein is a major contributor to Restoration Action PAC.[4]

Activities

[edit]

In October 2010, American Majority Action released the Voter Fraud App, a smartphone app developed to report and track illegal voting activity at polling places. Using photographs and text, the Voter Fraud App compiled a list of alleged vote fraud incidents and was updated in real-time throughout election day.[5]

In 2012, American Majority Action launched a #FireBoehner campaign aimed at removing John Boehner from his position as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.[6][7]
