The battle over voting rights is a key front in the November elections. Democrats believe that Congress and the states should make it easier for every eligible voter to cast a ballot. But while we believe in winning elections by addition, Republicans want to win by subtraction — and they are working overtime to erect barriers to voting.
Their most recent plan is centered on blocking VOTE-BY-MAIL options in the middle of this pandemic. In fact, on Thursday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced they would spend $20 million between now and the November election to prevent vote-by-mail options in the battleground states.
The pandemic has raised the stakes of this critical battle and we can't allow Trump to limit the ability of millions of Americans to cast a ballot. We need to fight back hard. That means pushing hard for a national right to vote-by-mail in upcoming legislation, but also blocking Republican efforts to stop states from implementing viable vote-by-mail options.
Add your name here to join me in the fight to ensure that we protect the right of states to adopt viable VOTE-BY-MAIL options.
Last month, we saw a 5-4 Supreme Court vote along ideological lines to force an unsafe in-person election in Wisconsin that resulted in long lines and new COVID-19 cases.
The RNC's massive legal fund presents the latest hurdle to Democratic efforts to expand vote-by-mail rules.
New legal battles are already underway in more than a dozen states, including the key battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. And the outcome of this fight could be decisive in November.
Sign here to help me protect the right to vote as we head into the crucial November election.
Thank you for protecting our democracy!
