Hello,
The New York Times has provided us with some much-needed encouragement this week: More than 64 million Americans have already voted, about 46% of the total vote counted in 2016. Even better? About half of those votes have come from battleground states.
Americans are showing out in record numbers to demand change, and we’re closer than we’ve ever been to seeing a blue wave in Washington.
But The New York Times also offered some words of caution: Official mail-in counts for several states will not be available by election night. In fact, two battleground states, Michigan and Pennsylvania, have stated that official counts could take several days.
After waging a war against the United States Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to cast their ballots by mail, Trump is now focusing his efforts on suing states to prevent mail-in ballots from being counted at all -- and he’s already had some success.
Americans are doing their part to defend our democracy, but now we need to keep the pressure on our elected officials to protect our electoral integrity against the GOP’s brazen voter suppression tactics. There is too much at stake to leave our voices unheard, which is why we need you to stand with us now:
Do you demand that every vote is counted?
Thank you for providing your critical input,
