Friend --
COUNT EVERY VOTE
The polls have closed. Maybe election results will become clear
tonight, but most likely they won’t. One thing is for
certain—everyone who has cast a ballot should have that ballot
counted.
Voter suppression efforts have been relentless in this election
cycle, and they might ramp up tonight as lawyers file motions to
disqualify ballots, and others file motions to count them. And we’ll
probably be hearing a lot from the candidates and campaigns on both
sides of that fight.
We have said all along that democracy is on the ballot this year,
along with the truth itself. Those who argue that votes shouldn’t be
counted will be using many dishonest arguments to justify their voter
suppression agenda.
We cannot and will not let these suppression efforts thwart
the will of voters. Here are resources you can use to join
the fight to COUNT EVERY VOTE:
People have fought and died for the right to vote, which still
isn’t as universal in our country as it should be. But every vote we
protect today is another victory in the long march to the democracy
and government we want and deserve.
Thanks for voting, for working to protect and expand voting rights
and voter participation, and for all you do to promote racial, gender
and economic equity. Let’s see this through to victory.
