It's an attack on the very principle of free and fair elections. Not just a fundamental Liberal value, but a Canadian one: your right to vote. And together we can fight back.
Media reports stemming from an Elections Canada investigation have revealed a pattern of election fraud involving misleading and harassing phone calls last election. The calls were designed to stop tens of thousands of Liberal voters from reaching the polls in at least 38 ridings. 31,000 Canadians have sent complaints to Elections Canada.
The consequences are clear. The Conservatives won their majority by fewer than 7,000 votes across 14 close ridings - sometimes by a margin of just a few dozen votes.
The truth will only come out if the affected Canadians continue to come forward to file official complaints with Elections Canada.
That's why I'm turning to you. This week, we launched the Election Fraud Watch Campaign to ensure those stories are heard, including:
Creating a rapid response team at National Office to work with Canadians who are ready to file official complaints;
Launching an alert@liberal.ca email hotline where Canadians can send new tips and evidence; and
Posting an easy-to-use online form on Liberal.ca so Canadians can submit complaints directly to Elections Canada.
Let's make sure the thousands of Canadians who received harassing phone calls, and calls sending them to false polling locations - including seniors, young, and first-time voters - get the justice they deserve.
Please donate $5 right now - just $1.25 after your tax credit - to join the hundreds who will lead this fight.
