Donald Trump just relaunched an effort to ban mail-in voting.
Why? Because Russian President Vladimir Putin flattered him by claiming mail voting “rigged” the 2020 election.
We should never take advice on democracy from a ruthless authoritarian who has spent decades trying to weaken ours. And we won’t. Democrats will ensure any attempt to strip away Americans’ right to vote is dead on arrival in the Senate.
Voting by mail is safe, secure, and reliable. It’s a trusted practice used by millions of Americans in every election – from military service members overseas to working families at home. Trump’s false claims aren’t about “election security.” They’re about silencing voters and making it harder for Americans to be heard. This is another attempt to impose modern-day Jim Crow laws and undermine the democratic process. That’s unacceptable.
