Dear Friend,
I've been working hard to protect our democracy during this very challenging year. The pandemic demands maximum effort and care in administering an election. A few days ago, my office took a significant step toward making the 2020 election as safe as possible. We sent out absentee ballot applications to 2.3 million registered voters across the state who had not yet requested a ballot. The mailing ensures that every registered voter in Minnesota will have the opportunity to vote from home, which protects people who choose that option - and helps to make our polling places safer for voters who show up on election day.
Political scaremongers went on the attack, with bizarre and overheated rhetoric suggesting that voter safety efforts are merely partisan trickery. Here's a sample:
Please help me stand up to these ridiculous attacks and threats. Pitch in $25, $50, or $100 to our end-of-quarter deadline today and show your support to keep our elections easy, safe, and secure. The stakes are high, and I value your support.
