We’re asking you to do something difficult, John: Close your polling tabs. They probably aren’t helping your nerves. And they certainly won’t change the results. Here’s something meaningful you can do instead: Make a donation to support the NDRC’s Democracy Defenders. We’ve done the legwork to identify the state-level races where our work can make the biggest impact for democracy. These elections are often won by narrow margins — sometimes just hundreds of votes. A contribution today and go a long way to helping these candidates in the final push to reach people and turn out the vote.
Polls don’t decide elections. Voters do. And we still have time to help Democrats turn out and vote for fair maps candidates across the ballot. At the end of the day, whether you’re focused on reproductive rights, climate change, or protecting our democratic norms, all the issues we care most about hinge on whether we elect fair-minded, pro-democracy candidates. When we get a more representative democracy, we win more progress. As Attorney General Holder likes to say: “If we want to protect democracy, we have to do democracy, in every sense.” Stop refreshing FiveThirtyEight, and let’s do democracy. Make these last 18 days incredibly effective in nail-biting priority state-level races. Chip in now: secure.actblue.com/donate/ndrc-em-oct24 Thank you, Team NDRC
