Friend,
We have an important update on Ohio
– our hearing is scheduled for tomorrow and we believe it will be a
slam dunk!
In case you missed it, someone not authorized to submit
paperwork on behalf of the campaign turned in a document requesting to
withdraw the Vice Presidential candidate from the ballot, after the
deadline to submit a new candidate.
The person who submitted this paperwork to
the Ohio Secretary of State admitted when turning in the form that the
signature on the form was not “wet” (it was a graphic that was copy
and pasted), and that they were not a campaign staffer.
The Secretary of State should have
rejected it on those grounds alone. But instead, they accepted the
form - then declared no votes for Jill would count.
To make this even more incredible
and unacceptable, our Ohio VP candidate then sent the SoS a notarized
affidavit stating that she didn’t authorize the withdrawal form, and
the SoS replied that they wouldn’t accept it because the notarization
wasn’t “embossed”... after they had accepted the original,
unauthorized VP withdrawal form with a copy-pasted signature from a
person who had no standing to submit it!
We are confident that we will prevail in our lawsuit
tomorrow and votes for Jill will be counted in Ohio.
These fights against shenanigans in
multiple states have been a huge expense for the campaign, but it is
worth it to ensure that the people, including the 8 million registered
voters in Ohio, have an anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action
candidate on their ballots in November.
Friend,
can you please pitch in today to make sure that Jill and Butch can get
their empowering message out to voters everywhere in these crucial
final weeks?
