Donald Trump’s Justice Department is building a list of nearly 3,000 Americans who volunteered to help run the 2020 election in the Atlanta metro area.

This is the kind of list McCarthy built and dictators around the world build. Don’t let them scare you. Call your county elections office and volunteer for this year’s election.
