Friends,
Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are putting the security of the 2020 election at grave risk.
They refuse to take any action to defend our democracy from foreign interference.
I’m rolling out a multi-step election security plan that I will enact as your next president.
FIRST: Secure our elections. My plan raises standards and increases resources to protect every precinct in America with new voting machines, mandatory audits, improved election procedures, and stronger cybersecurity.
SECOND: Fight foreign interference. By closing campaign finance loopholes that allow foreign actors to distort our media, elections, and campaigns, we can fight back against interference.
THIRD: Start a dialogue. We will open a dialogue with the American people about ongoing threats to our democracy and steps our government is taking to protect it. Foreign adversaries want to undermine the public’s faith in democracy; we must restore it.
FINALLY: Reclaim our respect. We will reclaim America’s historic leadership role by mobilizing our allies to push back against threats to democracy worldwide. We will work with our partners in Europe, NATO, and elsewhere to respond forcefully to those attacking democracy, strengthen election security, and support civil society.
Democracy is under attack at home and across the globe. We must rise in its defense.
Trump and McConnell’s inaction is damaging the integrity of our election system and the future of our democracy.
We can’t allow this to continue. You can read my election security plan here.
Thanks for standing with me.
