Presidential Debate: Trump still spreading voting disinformation
Donald Trump used the first presidential debate to spread baseless, dangerous disinformation about vote-by-mail. But the American people aren’t buying his lies -- we know that vote-by-mail is safe, secure, and it works.
Whether they want to vote early, by mail, or in-person on Election Day -- eligible voters have a right to safely cast their ballot and know that their vote has been counted. Our election officials must make sure of it.
Why is this important?
In a desperate attempt to disenfranchise everyday Americans, Donald Trump once again regurgitated his tired lies about vote-by-mail during the first presidential debate.
It’s clear the president thinks that letting every eligible voter be heard isn't in his political interest.
That’s despicable. And before November, we must make sure that our friends, family, and neighbors have the facts:
Mail-in voting is a paper-based system that’s safe and accessible. It can easily be audited to ensure election results are correct -- and it has already been tested and proven secure in states across the country.
That’s why many leading Republican and Democratic officials have long supported vote-by-mail. And even though mail-in ballots take a little longer to tally, so we may not get results on Election Night this year -- that’s okay.
Because ensuring that every last vote is counted is far more important than getting results quickly.
No matter what Trump says, our election officials must focus on ensuring that voters can safely make themselves heard this fall -- whether they want to vote early, by mail, or in-person on Election Day. If you agree, add your name now.
