- We're Taking a Break!

But here is the latest election update:
|
We know everyone is anxious about Woodson Bradley's race. As you no doubt know by now, unfortunately, Anna Thomas lost her race.
The status of Woodson's race has not yet been resolved, but here is what we know right now:
- Woodson is up by 181 votes.
- There is no automatic recount in NC. A candidate can call for a recount if the difference is 1% or less.
- The deadline by which a candidate can request a recount is 5 pm on November 18.
- If a recount is requested, the county board is required to wait at least 48 hours before beginning the recount.

There are still ways you can help with THIS election!
|
The Pennsylvania Senate race is likely in recount status because of the efforts of volunteers helping voters to cure their ballots after the election. The margins for the House are also very close, and we still need help with uncalled races in California.
Time and resources are welcome! Ballot curing involves helping voters who want to vote cast their votes. It often requires correcting a very small administrative issue. It is also a normal, legal process. We are only calling Democratic voters to help them have their vote counted.
If you have any questions about the process or want more information, text Krishni at 202-681-7608. Deadlines vary by state and district, but many deadlines are about a week away.
