I won’t lie to you, friend -- I was truly disturbed when I first read the headline above. But it’s important to understand the context of what the Trump campaign is doing.
Public polls, election prognosticators, and early voting trends all point to one conclusion: Donald Trump is on his way to losing Pennsylvania. Trump knows it’s too late to persuade Pennsylvanians to reelect him, so instead, he’s trying to stop them from voting altogether.
Right now, the GOP is trying to make voting harder in Pennsylvania by:
- Preventing local election officials from counting mail-in ballots before Election Day, needlessly slowing down the process
- Segregating ballots received after 8 PM on Election Day, even if they were postmarked in time, in order to make it easier to continue contesting these ballots in court
- Recruiting “poll watchers” to intimidate and discourage voters at the polls, particularly in heavily Black areas like Philadelphia
This is a desperate effort from a campaign that is afraid to face the will of the voters. We can’t let them cheat the people of Pennsylvania out of making their voices heard.
They wouldn’t be fighting this hard if they didn’t know we were winning. If Democrats turn out in overwhelming numbers tomorrow, they won’t be able to deny the results -- no matter how much they shout and stomp their feet. Will you chip in right now to help us ensure every voter has the opportunity to safely cast their ballot?

Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters. But 2020 will be our most important -- and toughest -- year yet. It's the last year before redistricting, which means it's our last chance to elect the Democrats we trust to fight for fair maps.
