"We're going to teach you how to gerrymander. My advice to you is: If you don't want it turned over in discovery ... get rid of it before you go home."
-- Cleta Mitchell (a Trump lawyer) while moderating a 2019 ALEC conference panel on redistricting

President Trump's election lawyers have a track record of trying to manipulate elections. Notorious gerrymandering expert and Trump Lawyer Cleta Mitchell is no different.

Recently leaked audio of a recent call with Mitchell and Trump exposes them for trying to persuade Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn Georgia's election results.

Mitchell is considered a redistricting and election expert -- but only by those who believe gerrymandering and diminishing the power of popular votes is the gold standard. Unfortunately, we expect her "expertise" to make another appearance during redistricting later this year.

Their election manipulation playbook won't work if our plan to build accountability through grassroots organizing succeeds. Can you chip in to help us shine a light on election manipulators

We're seeing a pattern of conservative politicians who are willing to compromise democracy to maintain power. And it's not just Trump. In fact, this latest news comes after Senator Lindsey Graham called in November asking the secretary to discard legally cast votes. If you need a refresher, check out the explainer below that Jake sent around in November.

We launched the Grassroots Last Line of Defense Fund to hold obstructionists and extreme partisans accountable for undermining our democracy. We use your donations to empower grassroots activists with the training, resources, and support they need to make calls to Congress, submit public comments to state legislatures, and submit letters to the editor -- all ways to help protect democracy during redistricting.

Friend -- Senator Lindsey Graham was just exposed for calling on GOP election officials in swing states to toss out legally-cast ballots. This presidential election wasn't even close, but it doesn't seem like everyone has received the message.

On Monday night, Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger revealed that Senator Graham has been pressuring him to discard legally cast votes. Yes, Senator Graham is willing to subvert democracy to maintain power.

The All On The Line team is launching our Grassroots Last Line of Defense Fund to push back against power-hungry politicians like Graham. We set a goal to raise $25,000.

Can you chip in $15 to fight corrupt politicians and achieve fair maps in 2021? Lindsey Graham will hate every dollar we raise.

After President-Elect Joe Biden won the election, Graham went on Fox News and urged his party to make it harder for folks to vote saying, "if we don't do something about voting by mail, we're going to lose the ability to elect a Republican in this country."

Senator Graham would rather cheat to maintain power than win elections fair and square by appealing to all voters.

This is a typical playbook. Whether through gerrymandering, lame-duck legislation, or trying to get legally cast ballots tossed, conservative politicians are hoping to maintain power at the expense of our democracy.

We're fighting to hold power-hungry politicians like Lindsey Graham accountable, but we need your help. Chip in $15 -- or whatever you can -- right now and support our fight to speak truth to power and end map manipulation once and for all!
