“Mail ballots are [a] very dangerous thing for this country because they're cheaters.... They're fraudulent in many cases." - Donald Trump, April 2020
“Voting absentee is a safe and secure way to guarantee your voice is heard. That's why President Trump wants you to join him in being an absentee voter this year.” - Donald Trump Jr., August 2020

While Donald Trump falsely attacks voting from home, his campaign apparatus continues pushing for it.
We already knew that Trump has pushed for Floridians to vote from home but now he’s recruiting his son Donald Trump Jr. to make robocalls to Republicans encouraging them to vote from home this year.
And this isn’t the first time his family has recorded robocalls. Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump made a robocall in April, describing voting from home as “safe” and “secure” despite the fact Trump called it “corrupt” and “dangerous” that very same month.
Trump and his lackeys can’t keep their stories straight!!!

If voting from home is good enough for Trump and his supporters, then why are they saying it isn’t good enough for us?
John: They don’t want us to vote in 2020 because they’re afraid they’ll lose.
Trump is spending $20 million to sue Nevada and New Jersey from mailing ballots to registered voters -- two states Trump lost in 2016.
At the same time, Trump Jr.’s robocall went to voters in 13 states, including key swing states North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan -- three states Trump won in 2016.
Trump and his allies are encouraging some people to vote from home and discouraging others when it suits them politically.
We’re working to get ballot applications to Democratic voters in swing states like North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan to ensure they can safely make their voices heard no matter what lies Trump spreads about voting from home next. If you can, chip in today to support our efforts.

Vote From Home 2020 is a grassroots movement that's making vote by mail more accessible. With a $25 donation, we'll send vote by mail applications to 20 voters. COVID-19 has brought America to a halt, and with it almost all in-person voter mobilization efforts. While volunteers can’t get on buses to swing states or go door-to-door right now, there is a huge opportunity for progressives, especially in solidly blue states, to get out the vote where it counts. By sending vote by mail ballots to targeted states and following up with text and calls to voters, we can ensure the 2020 general election is safe and accessible. Please forward this email if you know someone who may be interested. Our average gift is just under $25 so consider donating that today to support voting rights. |
