Dear John, The polls are open for just a few more hours, and every vote counts. Remember that you have a right to cast your ballot as long as you are in line by the time polls close; don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If you’re in line to vote, stay in line! If you have trouble at the polls, please call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) for help. If you need information about where to vote, your voter registration, and other election related needs visit www.vote411.org/pflag. As results begin to come in, it’s understandable that there might be anxiety or stress given the importance of this election and all the efforts to spread disinformation and sow distrust. Yet, our PFLAG community has a strong history of leading with love to overcome dark efforts, and that includes your incredible advocacy to ensure that every eligible voter has their voice heard and their vote counted. We might not have a clear winner on election night, and it’s hard to be patient while election officials take the time to make sure every eligible vote is counted accurately. No matter the outcome, know that your tireless Love Votes efforts ensured that millions of people were motivated to let their love vote. Remember that no matter who we are, what we look like, or who we love, we are stronger when we are free to be our authentic selves, coming together and supporting the best in all of us. We’ve got this. We’ve got us. |
