Congress has a role to protect our votes

Trump has already said he "can't go along with" an election decided by mail-in ballots

Tell Congress: "We demand you take all possible steps to prevent Trump and his allies from undermining our right to vote. Make sure every ballot is counted." ADD YOUR NAME Under the cover of darkness Monday night, Trump had his third Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett, sworn in. And the Supreme Court is signaling it might hand next week's election to Donald Trump. Trump has already said he "can't go along with" an election decided by mail-in ballots, and the Supreme Court just put limits on mail-in ballots from Wisconsin this week. We're going to have to make sure Congress protects the integrity of the election and that every vote is counted. Will you help protect the election results? Sign the petition: Congress must take every action possible to stop Trump from stealing the election. Less than a week before the election, more than 60 million votes have been cast between mail-in ballots and early voting poll sites. And GOP lawyers have filed numerous lawsuits to get as many of those votes thrown out as possible. In Nevada, the Trump campaign has sued to get ballots from Las Vegas—the largest Democrat-leaning city in the state—invalidated because of a supposed lack of supervision over signature matching. In Wisconsin, the state GOP was successful in convincing the Supreme Court to toss ballots received after November 3, even if they were mailed in time. These are just two of the dozens of suits that have been filed. These lawsuits are working in concert with Trump's ongoing slander of vote-by-mail ballots that began over the summer. Trump will likely use this doubt that he himself has cast on absentee ballots to challenge the results if he isn't the winner. He already said as much during the first debate. We are heading into a constitutional crisis that could drag state legislatures, Congress, and the Supreme Court with it. Trump could try to convince states to overrule their voters in the Electoral College. He could ask his Barrett-majority Supreme Court to throw out millions of ballots for specious reasons. We can't know exactly what he'll do. The Constitution gave Congress power over the election and how electoral votes are counted, and we need to make sure Congress uses that power to protect our votes.
