Hello,
Donald Trump wants states to choose between federal relief aid and the right to vote.
The President of the United States threatened the state of Michigan on Twitter, saying that -- as punishment for sending 7.7 million people absentee ballot applications -- the state would be cut off from any disaster assistance.
Meanwhile, the HEROES Act already passed by House Democrats would not only grant over $1 trillion in relief to state and local governments -- but would also make vote-by-mail available to everyone.
But even if the bill passes the Senate, which looks unlikely, it won’t do any good if Trump is shaking down swing states and telling them to tear up their absentee ballots if they want any relief. Republicans are counting on leveraging this crisis to suppress the vote and win the election -- so we need Democrats everywhere to engage right now. Tell us:
