Friend,
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh just signaled that he's willing to
throw out potentially millions of legitimate mail-in ballots to help
Trump win.
As part of an awful decision blocking Wisconsin from counting mail-in
ballots that were mailed on time but arrive after Election Day,
Kavanaugh flatly stated that any ballot not counted on election night
should not be counted at all.
That means it might already be too late right now for people to get
their ballots in the mail and counted.
We know Donald Trump intentionally sabotaged the U.S. Postal Service by
installing mega-donor Louis DeJoy as postmaster general. After DeJoy
dismantled hundreds of sorting machines and eliminated overtime pay for
postal workers, significant delays in mail delivery began occurring all
over the country—and the worst delays have been in battleground states
like Michigan and Wisconsin.
But now the GOP-packed Supreme Court is forcing states to throw out
mail-in ballots that the U.S. Postal Service doesn't deliver in time,
and not just in Wisconsin. Republicans are pushing lawsuits to stop
late-arriving legal ballots from being counted in Pennsylvania and North
Carolina, and Kavanaugh's opinion yesterday suggests that the Court may
force states to stop counting ballots everywhere if necessary to hand
the election to Trump.
Our entire newsroom is on alert to cover Trump's efforts to steal the
election and call out the Supreme Court's blatant partisanship to make
sure our readers have the facts needed to fight back. But without
corporate advertising, we are counting on donations to keep our
operations up and running through this perilous time for democracy.
Will you make a donation right now to help raise $80,000 by November 2
for our Fall Fundraising Drive to make sure we have the resources to
stop the Supreme Court from helping Trump steal the election?
