John, there’s a loophole that could be used to ignore your vote for president. And it’s widely reported that President Trump is already exploring ways to exploit it.

In case you missed it: Trump’s campaign has begun pressuring lawmakers in key swing states to appoint false electors to the Electoral College who would disregard the vote count when choosing our next president.¹

This undermines the very foundation of American democracy and could plunge our Republic into chaos.

This isn’t about partisanship; it’s about protecting our democracy. Add your name right now — before Nov. 3rd — to demand that your state lawmaker honor the vote count when choosing electors this fall.

Many Americans don’t realize it, but when we vote for president, we’re actually voting for a set of electors devoted to that candidate in the Electoral College.

Then, those electors cast their vote for president, and the U.S. Congress officially counts the electors’ votes and certifies the winner with 270 or more electoral votes as our nation’s next president.

But if just one or two state legislatures appoint false electors, it could change the result of the presidential election – and betray our nation’s founding principle: That we, the people, decide who represents us. 

But here’s the good news. We the people can also prevent this doomsday scenario by speaking out and sending a clear message to our lawmakers: We will hold you accountable to elect our president based on the vote tally.

With less than two weeks until Election Week, add your name to our petition right now to demand your state lawmakers respect the will of the people and honor the final vote count when appointing electors.

This election will test our country like no other. Thank you for doing your part to save the vote this fall.
