Letter to the Editor
This is the text of a letter I sent to the editor of the
Everett Herald, my local newspaper, on September 23, 2020:
President Trump is now talking about
getting rid of the ballots in the upcoming presidential election and having
state legislatures or the US Supreme Court determine the outcome of the election.
President Trump’s antidemocratic convictions are becoming more and more
apparent. If Vice President Biden wins the presidency through the vote of the
people, the people of this country simply must not let President Trump or
anyone else produce a different result by illegal or even by nominally legal
means. Our democracy is at stake. The voters not the politicians must determine
the outcome of this presidential election. Our American democratic traditions
and values demand nothing else.
Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Sorenson
