Friend, in a desperate attempt to cheat his way back into the White House and silence those who didn’t vote for him -- Donald Trump is trying to declare himself the winner of the 2020 election.

Around 2:30 yesterday morning, he claimed victory in some key swing states that are still much too close to call, with millions of ballots left to count -- and regurgitated his shameful, baseless lies about our voting process.

But regardless of what Trump says -- in our democracy, it’s the voters who decide the election winner, not candidates. The American people must swiftly reject this blatant attempt to hijack our democracy.

Sign the Petition: Every last vote WILL be counted, even if it takes extra time -- and we refuse to let Trump declare himself president without final election results >>

The fact is: millions of votes from across the country still have yet to be tallied. These voters faced a global pandemic, vote-suppressing politicians, and rampant disinformation to make themselves heard in this all-important election year -- and they will not be shut out of our democracy.

This is just the latest step in Trump’s plot to tamper with this election -- first, he spread dangerous lies about vote-by-mail. Then, he refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power.

Now, with no regard for our democratic values or the will of the American people, he’s trying to hijack the election and name himself the winner. And he even said he’d go to the Supreme Court -- where he just appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett to be a tie-breaking vote -- to stop ballots from being tallied.

Add your name: join the nationwide outcry and REJECT Trump’s shameless attempt to cheat his way back into the White House >>

Let’s be clear: every ballot will be counted in this election, including mail-in ballots. That’s the law.

And no matter what Trump says or does, no one can declare themselves the president. That decision is to be made by the American people.

Common Cause is not in this fight to advocate for a particular candidate or outcome, but to make sure that every single ballot is counted fairly -- and that voters, not partisan political interference, decide the outcome of this election.

I hope you’ll speak out today,
