A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

People For Supporter --

As we rapidly approach the end of the year, we wanted to share with you a
great example, from just this month, of one of the members of our Young
Elected Officials Network in action!

As reported om a feature by The Washington Post, when Donald Trump’s
campaign tried to challenge the validity of Georgia ballots by presenting
a list of supposedly ineligible Georgia voters, YEO Network member and
Georgia State Rep. Bee Nguyen was ready to defend the Georgia voters being
impugned and the voting rights of her constituents.

From The Washington Post's national political enterprise and
accountability reporter Michelle Ye Hee Lee:

“When Georgia state Rep. Bee Nguyen (D) reviewed a list of voters who
President Trump’s campaign claimed cast illegal ballots in the state,
three names caught her eye: two friends and a constituent.

“For days, Nguyen pored over public records, spoke with voters by phone
and even knocked on doors in person to vet the Trump list. She found that
it included dozens of voters who were eligible to vote in Georgia — along
with their full names and home addresses.

“[W]hen a data analyst who compiled the list told a panel of state
lawmakers that it proved thousands of voters cast ballots in Georgia who
should not have, Nguyen was ready.

“'I do want to share with you some of the things that I found that
appeared to be incorrect to me,' the two-term lawmaker told Matt Braynard,
whose research has been cited in numerous suits filed by Trump and his
allies, several of which have been tossed out of the courts.

“Nguyen’s 10-minute dissection of the data offered a rare real-time fact
check of the unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud that the
president’s allies have promoted in state hearings around the country,
largely before friendly Republican audiences.”

This is just one example of the amazing work of our YEO Network members.
