Petition to Congress: We urge you to reject all measures to undermine America's democratic elections, restrict mail voting, and infringe on voting rights. These policies, including the SAVE Act, are a threat to our voting rights and our democracy. You must protect mail voting and state voter data, with measures including the Absentee and Mail Voter Protection Act.

The Supreme Court just made the shocking decision to allow Trump to implement his extreme mail voting executive order while a final appeal plays out. SCOTUS forced a lower court to lift its block on Trump's mail voting restrictions, and allowed the U.S. Postal Service to follow Trump's authoritarian order.
"NO MORE CROOKED, CORRUPT, & DESTABILIZING MAIL-IN BALLOTS," Trump ranted on Truth Social. Trump has spent months trying to seize state voter data and place extreme restrictions on who can vote by mail.
Trump's authoritarian attack on our voting rights is unconstitutional and an existential threat to our democracy. He must be stopped.
Sign the petition: Tell Congress to REJECT Trump's attacks on mail voting!
Earlier this year, Trump released an executive order demanding severe restrictions on mail ballots, and ordering states hand over voter information so the federal government can create lists of "verified U.S. citizens." Maine's Secretary of State said that if courts uphold Trump's order, there will be a "virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government."
Today, a federal judge lifted the only remaining block on Trump's dangerous mail voting plan, saying that the Supreme Court decision gave her no choice.
Trump filled his administration with election deniers, and they're doing everything they can to rig the midterms.
Attorney General Todd Blanche, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, and MAGA influencer Steve Bannon support deploying ICE to patrol the polls in November, all in service to the baseless far-right conspiracy of "mass non-citizen voting."
Trump's Department of Justice even threatened to arrest election officials who refuse to implement Trump's illegal election orders.
Congress must stop this all-out anti-democratic assault on elections and pass legislation to protect mail voting immediately.
Sign the petition: Don't let Trump rig the midterms. Defend mail voting NOW!
