The sham election commission meets for the second time on September 12, 2017 at 10 a.m. ET, at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. Our biggest goal for the day on social media is to lift up pro-voter solutions from around the country.
We'll update this page with information on how to tune in to the livestream so you can follow along from wherever you may be located.

On Electronic Voting Systems
General
Our democracy is stronger when EVERY eligible American is allowed to cast a vote and have that vote be counted. #RespectMyVote
Our democracy should encourage eligible voters to vote and we need a system that is free, fair, and equal. #RespectMyVote
Trump & allies have launched an assault on our freedom to vote. The sham commission is nothing but a tool to implement that agenda. #RespectMyVote
Trump admin is using its sham commission to deter eligible voters from participating in our democracy. We can't let them. #RespectMyVote
The sham commission's request of voter information is a blatant political ploy to suppress voter turnout & purge voter rolls. #RespectMyVote
.@realDonaldTrump's sham commission is a team of anti-voter all-stars: Pence. Kobach. von Spakovsky. Adams. Blackwell. #RespectMyVote
Trump has assembled an anti-voter dream team with a long history of denying the freedom to vote for people of color. #RespectMyVote
At a time when states are passing laws that make voting complicated, we must dedicate ourselves to increasing participation. #RespectMyVote
If the Trump administration truly cares about the integrity of our elections, the sham voting commission should be disbanded. #RespectMyVote
Here's what we actually need: For Congress to #RestoreTheVRA, pass #AVRforAll, expand early voting, and end voter ID. #RespectMyVote
.@realDonaldTrump's sham voting commission violates our founding principles and threatens our national security. #RespectMyVote
Members of Congress MUST conduct vigorous oversight of Trump's sham commission & restrict any federal funding to support it. #RespectMyVote
Protecting the integrity of our electoral system shouldn't be a partisan issue. @realDonaldTrump has a grossly different view. #RespectMyVote
People died fighting for voting rights. We can't let the Trump administration rollback our progress & suppress those rights. #RespectMyVote
Rather than get distracted by the sham commission’s one-sided investigation, we must continue to implement pro-voter reforms. #RespectMyVote
Yes, @realDonaldTrump's sham voting commission has misplaced priorities and no credibility to carry out its mission. #RespectMyVote
