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

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.

According to OpenSecrets, almost all of American Majority Action's 2022 funding came from dark money organization Restoration Action and its super PAC, which are funded primarily by conservative donor Richard Uihlein.

Activities

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.

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.
