Dear John,

I’ll keep this short and to the point. I have to. The audit team and I have been in non-stop contact with election officials across the country, gearing up for the vote counting to start. Meanwhile, my Interim Co-Director Cris and our in-state experts are working around the clock with our partners at Election Protection, while our research and communications teams field questions from the public on what to expect on Election Day and after.
 
Without supporters like you, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. But once the polls close tomorrow night, our to-do list only gets longer. Voters will be looking for evidence-based assurance of the results, and we need to be there: to help guide the audits, to evaluate potential technology issues, and to help sort out the normal ups and downs of the election process from real problems.
 
If you’ve ever considered making a contribution to support our work, or been weighing an additional gift, now is the time. Together, let’s do what we set out to do: Validate 2020, and ensure that every vote counts, tomorrow and in the days to come.
 
With gratitude,
Mark Lindeman, Interim Co-Director
