Dear Friends-

In the United States, we recognize and carry out the results of elections. That is what must and will happen in Michigan and every other state this year — despite Trump’s efforts to undermine the election and sow chaos.

As Republicans seek to delegitimize the results of this election, Democratic Secretaries of State and Attorneys General along with county officials and so many others have fought back against these efforts. This is why, down ballot victories are critical investments in offices that play important local and national roles. And we are sending our full gratitude to those still working around the clock to hold our Democracy firmly in place.
 

With 31 Lost Lawsuits, Trump and Giuliani’s Legal ‘Strategy’ is failing. Trump and his allies know their lawsuits won’t succeed, so they’re trying to overturn the will of the voters. Trump summoned Michigan Republican legislators to the White House in an attempt to subvert the election and their constituents’ votes. He spoke with the Wayne County Republican canvassers who are attempting to “rescind” the certification of election results despite no legal way to do so. And, he fired the country’s top election security official, whom he appointed, for telling the truth — that this election was “the most secure in American history.”

Trump and his team know they are up against a strict deadline for the election to be certified by the states. His tactic to delay certification in battleground states has been blocked even by judges he appointed. U.S. District Court Judge Steven Grimberg noted: “To halt the certification at literally the 11th hour would breed confusion and potentially disenfranchisement that I find has no basis in fact or in law.”

This week, Giuliani admitted their Pennsylvania lawsuit was “not a fraud case.” Trump and his lawyers have no evidence of widespread fraud because none happened.  Americans see through Trump’s lies: nearly 75%, including almost half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Biden as the winner of the election. He won a higher percentage of the vote than any challenger to an incumbent president since FDR, and he won the highest percentage of eligible voters in more than half a century.

Winning the White House was an historic victory, but there is still more work that must be done. If we are to enact bold legislation, Democrats must win the Senate. We need to do all that we can to support Senate candidates  Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock  and Jon Ossoff by volunteering, phonebanking, and keeping up the momentum to drive voter turnout in January.

We are almost there! I hope you will support our efforts. Because together, we are making the difference.

Yours in the Fight,

Muthoni
