But let me explain the stakes with a hypothetical: In 2024, the Republican presidential candidate has an early lead in Wisconsin but thousands of absentee ballots have yet to be counted. The rest of the nation watches, waiting for Wisconsin to determine the outcome of another presidential race.
Then, for whatever reason, the nation is waiting on the electoral votes in Wisconsin to call the entire presidential election. There could be a scenario where GOP officials and far-right pundits alike push to call the election for the Republican candidate as extreme as Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump.
Our entire team would be on high alert.
Our organizing and analytics teams would be hard at work crunching the numbers and determining whose votes could be jeopardized.
Our political and voter protection teams would build the case to reject hasty rulings and make sure every single vote is counted before hastily calling an election.
Our communications team would spread the message far and wide, brief me on how to best message this moment, and help Democrats best advocate to count all votes.
Our digital team would amplify all of this important work and send messages directly to the Wisconsin voters affected.
If we fail, folks nationwide would watch in despair. You and I would think back to 2023 where we had a chance to prepare for every obstacle the far-right would throw our way.
We can’t risk a scenario like this playing out. The bottom line is election-winning operations are not built in one single moment before an election. They’re enduring movements that need continued resources and investment. To be honest, we’re short of our monthly donor goals and we’ll only hit them with the help of dedicated Democrats like you reading this scenario.
