✍️ 38 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Donald Trump’s statement, “But then they rigged the election, and now we won,” raises serious concerns about election integrity. Widespread bomb threats at polling sites, ballot delays, and technical failures further undermine trust in our democratic process. With over 30 threats reported and potential foreign interference, a full investigation is essential. If necessary, a recount or re-vote must be considered to ensure every vote is secure and counted.
