John,

Impeached lame duck President Donald Trump and his pathetic acolytes, which includes disgraced former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and sitting Senator Lindsey Graham, are trying everything in their power to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including breaking the law.

We can’t let this kind of criminal behavior go unchecked.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has already called on the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of vote tampering and intimidation by Senator Graham. But it’s not enough to just investigate Graham and let’s be real, Attorney General Bill Barr isn’t going to hold a single Trump ally accountable.

The next Attorney General can. When President-elect Joe Biden takes office, the next Attorney General must investigate every attempt at voter suppression and tampering in this election and prosecute those responsible to the full extent of the law. Add your name to our petition if you agree >>

If you haven’t been following the news closely this week, a lot has happened. And it’s not good for our democracy.

First, we learned Sen. Lindsey Graham called the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to pressure him to throw out legitimately-cast mail-in ballots. He actually asked the (Republican) Secretary of State if he could throw out every mail-in ballot in counties Biden won because more voters successfully — and legally — were able to correct non-matching signatures on rejected ballots before the deadline, than voters in counties Trump won.

Thankfully, Raffensperger said no — and then told the press what happened. But this campaign to overturn our democratic election does not stop there, or with Sen. Graham.

The Washington Post reported that Donald Trump called multiple Michigan election officials to pressure them to rescind their certification of the election — and illegally throw Michigan to Trump after Joe Biden won the state by over 150,000 votes.

Today, Republican state lawmakers from Michigan are at the White House as part of this pressure campaign.

It’s clear Donald Trump is willing to tear down our democracy in order to remain in power. For the sake of Democracy, we can’t let any of these criminally authoritarian actions go without consequences.

The next Attorney General must investigate every attempt at vote tampering and voter suppression in this election and prosecute those responsible to the full extent of the law. Add your name to our petition now >>

Trump and his cronies have made it perfectly clear they have no regard for the rule of law or for our democracy. They want power, no matter the cost.

That’s why the next Attorney General must restore the rule of law and hold them accountable for attempting to overturn a democratic election.

Thank you for standing up today and demanding we restore faith in our democracy.
