So the midterms are over and we can relax, right? Well, you did have a few days, but it's time to get back to work!
However, I'm not going to ask much of you. I know you are all tired of fighting. Some of you are even fighting against other left leaning warriors, but that's for another blog post.
For this one I am going to ask just one simple request. Up your monthly donation to the ACLU just $5. There was an increase of more than 83 million voters than in the last mid-term in 2014. Let's say 50 million of those were liberals. Yes, this election motivated conservatives more than any I have seen in a long time. So some of that increase was indeed conservatives. So let's say that 50 million liberals donated $5 more a month to the ACLU.
Why would we do this? What purpose does this serve? Well, what was wrong with this election? Stacey Abrams went against someone who is also in charge of counting the votes. Native Americans where kept from voting by a last minute law change. Ballots are still being found with little investigation as to why (or how) they were lost. Voting machines ran out of batteries, with unused voting machines not even brought out! On top of it all, there seems to be a constant flow of information about how easy it is to hack the voting machines in the first place. Beto O'Rourke had ballots switching to Ted Cruz right in front of people as they were trying to vote.
In short, this election was messed with to historic proportions!
There is really only one thing you can do to actually improve this situation. No amount of protests are going to fix this. No amount of email or letter writing campaign is going to ensure that this doesn't happen again. We have the 2020 election to think about. So even if we can't get the hacked elections redone, recounted, or fixed some other way, we need things put in place to prevent this in the 2020 election.
Long term we need prevention to be a priority here. For that we need an army of lawyers. We need the ACLU to explode into an army like we have never seen before. We need them to attack like a swarm on every city where voters were turned away, had their vote changed, or had their vote lost. When 2020 comes, we need every vote counted. We need the elections to be as fair as we can get them. For that, the ACLU is our best strategic option.
If every liberal voter increased their monthly donation to the ACLU a mere $5, we would have that.
