The PA GOP just hired a Republican donor to run their sham “audit” of the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania. Can you rush a donation to fight back?

There’s a long story behind this, but it’s important to read:

In August of 2020, then-President Donald Trump and his enablers launched an all out attack on mail-in voting — even trying to limit the use of drop boxes. I fought back, and sued them because Pennsylvanians have the legal right to vote by mail. In fact, almost every Republican voted for the mail-in voting law passed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

The courts ruled against Trump and confirmed that our election rules were constitutional, which infuriated Donald Trump.

So on Monday, October 26th, 2020, just days before the presidential election, Trump told his supporters in Pennsylvania — who, at the time, had 24 hours left to request a mail-in or absentee ballot for the election — that the only way Joe Biden would win was if the election was "taken away from us."

Trump was pushing the claim of “major fraud” in the election before the election had even happened.

Since then, I’ve been fighting back to stop Trump’s Big Lie claiming voter fraud (since even before the election!). But the fight is far from over, so can you pitch in $5 or $10 right now to help us defend democracy from Trump’s Big Lie?

Joe Biden ended up winning Pennsylvania by over 80,000 votes. And after the election was called, two legal, bipartisan audits confirmed Biden's win — but Republicans kept up their efforts to undermine our democracy in an attempt to stay in power.

Rudy Giuliani fueled Trump’s Big Lie in court. He blatantly and carelessly lied over and over, abusing the court system on Trump’s behalf — risking our democracy in the process.

Here’s the thing: I believe in facts and truth-telling. So I stood up for Pennsylvania’s elections and voters across the Commonwealth by speaking truth in the face of their bold, harmful lies.

Rudy Giuliani took Pennsylvania to court, and as the People’s Attorney General, I defended our voting rights once again. It needed to be made clear: people all across Pennsylvania voted safely and securely, and their vote deserved to count.

I won in court (again). But that didn’t stop Pennsylvania Republicans from fueling Trump’s Big Lie.

If you’re as angry and I am about Trump and Republicans trying to undermine our elections, then pitch in $5 or $10 right now →

In June of 2021, Republican legislators called for an audit of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania.

Let’s be clear, this wasn’t (and still isn’t) a real audit. It’s an attempt to delegitimize the 2020 election results, to undermine our democracy, and to give Republicans the chance to rig the rules in their favor for elections in 2022, 2024, and beyond.

It’s incredibly dangerous, and a very real threat to our democracy.

In fact, it’s more real than ever. Republicans just hired a private contractor to conduct their sham “audit” — and it’s a company owned by a Republican donor.

That means Pennsylvania Republicans want to use taxpayer money, your money, to pay a Republican donor’s firm to look through your private, personal information in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

This is what we are currently up against — Republicans who are actively trying to undermine democracy. Some of them are even my opponents running for Governor.

If we want to defend our democracy from their attacks, we need to push back now. We need to take action, thousands of us standing together to send the message that we are not going to let them destroy our democracy.

If you’re with me in that fight, will you chip in right now?
