We know that one of the opportunities that the Trump campaign sees is scaring people out of line, convincing them that it's not worth it. And we need people to believe the data, believe the science, believe -- most importantly, believe in…
I need you to do two things. Number one, don't panic. Say, don't panic. They're about to turn up the mess. We know that intimidation is on their ballot. We know that suppression is their only weapon. But we know who we are and whose we…
Absolutely. Donald Trump is the best signifier we have of the likelihood of Democrats winning.
This is going to be a matter of turnout... we are seeing turnout that is unprecedented, and that is diverse.
If our communities are sufficiently invested in and if the resources are available, not based on zip code, but based on the fact that we're American citizens who deserve to vote, then I think we can get it done.
I would say go to the polls, and do not be intimidated. The hope from the Trump campaign... is that they want to scare you away from using your fundamental rights.
Essentially, he is doing his best to continue his pattern of sowing chaos and disinformation. But we know that what's happening in Pennsylvania is not only supported by the law, it's supported by history.
Well, I think the most important piece is reminding people that the end goal is to be heard. And while voting by mail was the safest, most accessible option, what we have to remember is once you have that ballot, the mission is to get it…
Number two, go to FairFight2020.com and sign up to be a volunteer. We are going to need people not only to serve as poll observers throughout this process and on election day, but we're going to have to chase a lot of these ballots.
Voter suppression exists when people are prevented from voting or discouraged from voting.
This is not a sign of excitement. It's a sign of incompetence and a sign of underinvestment in communities that deserve to have the same speed and efficiency in their elections.
We need to win a strong enough majority that we empower Joe Biden to do what he needs to do to help us recover from COVID.
Georgia is only going to be a blue state, but we're going to be a blue that says 16 Electoral College votes to help make Joe Biden the next president of the United States.
I think the largest impediment to deciding to vote for many is believing that their vote will make a difference, and that's why I've been so insistent on saying we shouldn't panic, we shouldn't be distracted, we should be determined. Our…
I think it signals once again that Trump doesn't care about everyday Americans, whether it's stealing their health care by putting Amy Barrett on the Supreme Court, pursuing during the midst of a pandemic an attempt to eviscerate the…
We have seen improvements on fixing your ballot if someone makes a mistake on that absentee ballot.
The Trump campaign took all of their voter-suppressing leaders and made them the deputy campaign managers of the Trump campaign.
We know that if we know up, if we overwhelm the polls with our presence, we can win.
We are watching the president of the United States and his cronies cheat, lie, and steal about the vote.
I don't trust the leadership of our state but I do trust the citizens of our state.
