This week, you and other voters reaffirmed a fundamental truth: in America, we choose our leaders, and every election matters. Many jurisdictions across the country reported record voter turnout. And despite decreased federal support (read more in my Axios interview), election officials and poll workers—our democracy’s first responders—successfully administered elections across the country.
But this is not a moment for rest—this is a crucial pivot point. Continued disinformation, federal overreach, intimidation, and other threats seek to undermine our free and fair elections, which are a cornerstone of ensuring every single voter has a say over the country’s future.
We’re working to protect every voter’s right to participate in secure and resilient elections every year, but we face a significant budget gap and need resources now to make the guardrails of our elections strong enough to withstand challenges ahead.
Give the public solid evidence that the winner won by working across the map directly with election officials to advance post-election audit procedures that check election outcomes, and advocating for audit legislation in states where there are still gaps;
Reach voters with trusted, nonpartisan facts, resources, and tools about elections and voting to help them get past bots and disinformation;
Support election officialsand ensure the frontline folks who administer our elections can do so safely and effectively—we must continue to be a reliable partner.
Our country’s future depends on citizens’ willingness to accept and uphold valid election outcomes. Can we count on your support to ensure we are ready for what comes next?
