Trump’s increasing attacks on the Post Office are just more proof he’s laying the groundwork to contest or outright steal the election
Indivisibles,
Postboxes removed from street corners. Sorting machines taken from local post offices. Hours cut and routes lengthened. In a year when people are rightly anxious about the safety of voting in person, Trump’s increasing attacks on the Postal Service are just more proof he’s laying the groundwork to contest or outright steal the election.
And it’s not just the post office -- last week the Washington Post reported on the RNC’s literal plans to contest the results of the election. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both spoke out about their fears for November. Trump straight up admitted he’s planning to interfere. And just two days ago, Trump said he’d seek an (unconstitutional) third term.
Trump thinks he can steal this election. And if we don’t take action, he might be able to.
Luckily, many experts saw this coming, and we’re already working on a plan to fight back. It’s called Protect the Results -- a joint effort between 40 (and counting!) partner organizations to prepare for a mass mobilization if Trump loses the election and refuses to leave office.
We’ve got three steps to get ready for a potential Trump-manufactured constitutional crisis:
- Develop mobilization strategies -- using the possible scenarios gamed out by experts, we’re planning for what our response needs to look like to protect our democracy.
- Recruit for grassroots turnout -- with ads, media coverage, digital organizing, and more, we’re getting the word out to the people (that’s you!) to sign up at ProtectTheResults.com so we’re ready to act the moment we need to.
- Prepare for events nationwide -- working with experts, our coalition, and grassroots leaders, we’re planning for the mobilizations and informed mass action we’ll need if Trump refuses to accept the election results.
All those plans take massive effort and resources -- from the digital ads and infrastructure we’re paying for to the time we’re spending working with coalition partners and briefing reporters. If we have to put our plans into action, we’re expecting to spend over $1.2 million, and we need your help.

We’d love to think we won’t have to use these plans come Election Day, but we know we need to be ready. It’s going to take all of us to make it happen -- thanks for doing your part.
