A shocking new report last week revealed that Wisconsin's oppressive
voter ID law -- passed by Republicans and signed into law by Scott
Walker -- prevented 200,000 people from voting. Donald Trump only won
Wisconsin by 22,000 votes.
Our right to vote is under assault all across the country, and the consequences are catastrophic.
We have to fight back. Add your name and say you'll stand with Democrats to defend access to the ballot box.
The GOP's nationwide voter suppression campaign is being spearheaded by
Republican governors and state legislatures, but you can bet that
Donald Trump is doing his part.
Last week, Trump created a new
commission that is specifically charged with investigating voter fraud,
which study after study has proven is virtually non-existent -- more
people get struck by lightning each year than commit in-person voter
fraud.
And this commission will be led by Kris Kobach, the man
responsible for some of the most heinous voting restrictions in the
country, who has spent years lying about voter fraud in order to keep
African Americans and Latinos from the polls. It's terrifying to think
of the new voter suppression tactics he'll come up with the backing of
the federal government behind him.
So we have to be
prepared to fight back. Add your name and say you'll resist the GOP's
attacks on our access to the ballot box. It's going to take all of us:
Thanks,
Tom Perez
Chair
Democratic National Committee
