John,
We knew a lot was on the line in Wisconsin.
The winner of yesterday’s state Supreme Court election will determine the ideological balance of power on the court for years to come. That impacts the future of democracy matters in the state, like redistricting, ballot drop boxes, and voter ID rules.
Wisconsin also has one of the strictest voter ID laws in the country. VoteRiders is the nation’s leading organization focused on eliminating ID barriers to voting, and we knew we had a critical role to play in ensuring all eligible voters could participate in this critical election.
In the face of these barriers, this was the highest turnout ever seen in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election. We’re proud we reached more than 800,000 Wisconsin voters ahead of Election Day with voter ID assistance and education.
That was in part thanks to the generosity of VoteRiders donors, who supplied the funding for us to run digital ads, buy billboard space, text voters, distribute Voter ID Information Cards, and so much more. It was also thanks to the 450+ volunteers who stepped up to send more than 12,000 letters and nearly 800,000 text messages to at-risk voters.
Now, as we turn our focus to municipal elections in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and more, help us carry our momentum forward:
