Team –

The Electoral College cast their ballots in the 2020 election this week. Joe Biden is officially president-elect of the United States of America.

The Electoral College vote is usually just a simple formality. But this year, Donald Trump’s refusal to accept his loss and the Republican’s subsequent insistence on fueling Trump’s ego has made these last few weeks a high-stakes fight to the finish.

Over 120 House Republicans signed on to an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court demanding that votes be thrown out and the election results overturned. Republican-held state legislatures sued and schemed to disenfranchise their citizens.

None of their tricks worked – but that doesn’t mean the GOP’s path to destroying our democratic processes wasn’t deeply harmful to our institutions.

This is a problem that won’t end with Donald Trump walking out of the White House, folks. A majority of Republicans engaged in a direct attack against our democracy. Will you chip in to help fight back and protect the will of the American voters?

Republicans have been attacking our democracy for years through gerrymandering, letting wealthy special interests control their agenda, and restricting voting rights. A whole-scale refusal to accept the results of an election won by Democrats is just the latest in their anti-democracy agenda.

But with the COVID-19 pandemic raging and much-needed relief being held up by Senate Republicans, their obstinance has never had more severe consequences on American lives and livelihoods. We should have moved on from the election week ago and focused on the issues that matter for everyday Americans.

We cannot let up in this fight and let Republicans trample over our democracy at the expense of the American people. Will you chip in to help me fight back against voter suppression in all its forms?

Thank you – only 34 days until Inauguration Day!
