The crap we’re seeing from Donald Trump
Folks,
A brave whistleblower just came forward and confirmed our fears: Donald Trump is trying to stop millions of Americans from voting this November by undermining mail-in voting.
According to the whistleblower, the Postal Service rushed to build a complex new system to manage voter information in under three months – one that would usually take up to a year – and its haphazard development could result in millions of Americans not receiving their mail-in ballots.
I mean literally, a mismatch on ONE ballot’s bar code could lead to the rejection of tens of thousands of ballots in a bulk-mailing batch.
This is voter disenfranchisement on steroids!
I’ve been sounding the alarm about this for months: Donald Trump knows that if the midterms are free and fair, he and his allies in Congress will face historic defeats. So he’s trying to disenfranchise millions of voters.
But we can’t let this President’s dangerous actions discourage us from voting. In fact, they only reinforce how important voting this year is.
So if you are as pissed off as I am, then I’m asking you to join me in the fight. Here are three meaningful actions you can take before Election Day to make a difference:
Vote, and if you can, vote early: Early Voting in Virginia starts on September 18th – that’s just two weeks away! Make your plan to vote today.
Volunteer with Virginia’s Voter Protection Team: Sign up today to become a Poll Observer, Voter Protection Hotline Worker, or Ballot Curer with Virginia’s Coordinated Campaign. There’s never been a more important time to help safeguard our elections.
Donate to elect VA Democrats: Chip in to Virginia Democrats’ Coordinated Campaign to ensure we have the resources we need to turn out and protect the vote across Virginia. Your donation helps not only my race, but Democrats up and down the ballot.
Look, whether you vote for me or against me, I want your vote to count. And with 60 days until Election Day, we all ought to do our part to stand up and fight back. This is about our democracy.
