| Tell Congress: "We urge you to ensure that the Electoral College votes on December 14 the way their state's voters did as certified by state election officials, and reject efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 election by refusing to support any challenges to the Electoral College results on January 6." | The 2020 election was not stolen. But it could be if Republicans allied to Donald Trump help him tear down our last democratic norm: free and fair elections. One Congressional Republican, Mo Brooks, has already said he will challenge the Electoral College results when Congress officially certifies the results on January 6. 126 Republicans signed onto a lawsuit asking SCOTUS to throw out the results of the election. We need to tell Congress to stop this nonsense. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to fight back against these efforts to undermine our democracy! Since Trump keeps losing in court (because he has no evidence of voter fraud), he's trying to undermine the Electoral College itself. He's pressuring state legislatures to send Trump-backed "faithless electors," who won't vote according to their state's certified election results. If that fails, he's hoping allies like Rep. Brooks will ride to his rescue on the floor of Congress. Trump is undermining the very notion of free and fair elections and Republicans are falling in lock-step with him. In any other country, we'd call that a coup. But Congress can step in and save our democracy from Trump's craven recklessness by refusing to go along with these shenanigans. We need to get rid of the Electoral College -- and until we do, we need to ensure that neither Trump nor his allies in Congress can rig the process to overturn the result of an election. If Trump can lose a national election but still get a second term, then our elections don't even matter anymore. The United States would stop being a democracy. It's that serious. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to reject efforts to undo the result of the 2020 election! Thanks, Team Progress |
