John,

Voting is a sacred right.

From the founding of our nation to the civil rights movement, every step forward has been about ensuring that all voices can be heard and that our democracy truly reflects the will of the people.

That is why we cannot backtrack now, not in ordinary times and certainly not in this moment of great crisis for our democracy. It is especially vital that Americans have every opportunity to participate in the political process when so much is at stake.

The reality is that access to voting is not equal for everyone. Illness, work schedules, childcare, transportation, and countless other obstacles prevent millions of Americans from casting a ballot every election cycle. In Delaware, we responded to these challenges in 2020 by instituting universal vote-by-mail to help more people make their voices heard. And the result was extraordinary; in 2024, our state saw record-breaking turnout.

That’s why I see mail-in voting as a crucial step in protecting and expanding voting rights. But now, Donald Trump has vowed to eradicate it all because he still can’t admit that he lost an election. When you take away access to the ballot box, you strip Americans of their ability to exercise a fundamental right to our freedom.

I will not stand by while these attacks continue. Help me send a clear message: Tell Donald Trump to stop attacking our right to vote. He must keep his hands off our voting machines and our mail-in ballots.
