Election Denier Cleta Mitchell Must Be Removed From the Election Assistance Commission’s Advisory Board

During and after the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and his acolytes sparked a wave of election denial, false claims of fraud, and a violent insurrection that took the lives of five people. Now this threat has the potential to jeopardize our very right to vote. In 2021, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights appointed Trump lawyer and election denier Cleta Mitchell to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s Board of Advisors, which works with the EAC to provide guidance to states on election administration. But Mitchell testified under oath before the January 6 House Select Committee in 2022 that no one in the American public has a constitutional right to vote for President of the United States. Mitchell was also part of the conspiracy, following the November 2020 election, to try to pressure the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” enough votes for Trump to (falsely) win the state. Cleta Mitchell should have no business influencing election administration. Sign if you agree: The Commission on Civil Rights must revoke Mitchell’s appointment to the Election Assistance Commission. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and the Election Assistance Commission are tasked with protecting the right to free and fair elections for every American voter, a freedom already under widespread attack. Mitchell’s actions are incompatible with these goals and prove that she is unfit to uphold this critical mission. The Commission on Civil Rights must uphold its own mission and integrity. It must revoke Cleta Mitchell’s appointment and replace her with a candidate who respects every American’s constitutional right to vote. Tell the Commission on Civil Rights: Revoke Cleta Mitchell’s appointment to the Election Assistance Commission. In solidarity, Ron Fein Legal Director, Free Speech For People DONATE
