To: Vice President Joe Biden and The United States House of Representatives
Congress must object to the invalid 2016 Electoral College results
On January 6, members of the House and Senate must issue objections to the Electoral College certification.
Why is this important?
We call on Members of Congress to protect the American people, especially the Black and Brown voters who were systematically targeted and denied the right to vote through Intense voter suppression, fraudulent ballot counting and new discriminatory voter identification. These measures have disproportionately cheated Black and Brown, young, and poor people out of their vote!
Before accepting the Electoral College results, we must verify the vote, even if that means delaying the installation of the next President. This work begins with lawmakers objecting at the January 6 Electoral College certification.
Here are reasons to be concerned:
• Cross-Check: A 30 state coordinated strategy targeting millions of Black and Brown voters with similar first and last names, erasing them even though middle names and dates of birth were different. Without notification, these voters were wrongfully dropped from the rolls for the “crime” of allegedly attempting to vote in two places.
• Officials admit 87 machines were broken in Democratic-leaning Detroit, MI on Election Day leaving 74,000 uncounted ballots. The margin of victory was 11,612 votes.
• Victory was declared also in WI, PA, FL, AZ and NC with very slim margins. The irregularities in three of these states alone would have changed the Electoral count by 86 electors.
One person, one vote is the bedrock of Democracy! Without the right to vote, people are forced to live with public policies that are against their interests. Because of voter suppression, racial profiling and criminalizing voters of color, the 2016 election results do NOT represent the majority of the American people. It has never been more important to FIGHT for our Democracy.
