Here’s the sad truth in today’s America:
Americans must mobilize to ensure that every vote is counted. That fraudulent claims of fraud don’t serve as a pretext to undermine the true election results. That the candidates play by the rules and accept the results of the election.
That’s why Public Citizen is partnering with over 100 allies — including Greenpeace, Indivisible, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, MoveOn, Stand Up America, and more — in a coalition called Protect The Results.
- We will demand that every vote be counted, even if it takes days or weeks to get an accurate count from critical states, especially given the expansion of mail-in and absentee voting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- We will organize to ensure that the loser concedes, and that Congress, the Electoral College, and state officials honor the accurate, final vote count.
We need you to be part of this nationwide grassroots mobilization.

It turns out, if you’re determined to undermine the results of an election, there are a lot of tricks you can pull — some quasi-legal, some not.
But an election is about the will of the American people. And, at the end of the day, it’s up to us to make sure that our vote is counted and the results accepted.
Once the polls close on November 3, if efforts are underway to undermine the count or wrongly call into question the result, the Protect the Results coalition will mobilize millions to take to the streets.
We have to be ready. Please sign up for an event near you now.
Thanks for taking action.
For democracy,
- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
