Candidates from both major U.S. political parties are running against Flock surveillance cameras as a campaign issue ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with opposition appearing at multiple levels of the ballot across the country, according to ABC News.
NPR reported that the pushback spans the full political spectrum, cutting across traditional partisan lines. ABC News said voter concern about the growing power of tech companies is driving the backlash against the cameras.
The issue has taken hold nationwide, with ABC News placing it squarely within the 2026 midterm cycle as of early September 2026.
