John—

If you're like me, this morning brings a lot of feelings: confusion, relief, and anger. While the results may not look like what we wanted — a clean sweep for our champions — they do look very much like what we expected and prepared for. And the most important news is that there's a very clear pathway to victory for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We just have to make sure that we #CountEveryVote.

That’s where you come in, John. Help ensure every vote is counted by making a donation to NARAL today!

Here’s the good news.

• Arizona: BIG gains — we’ve flipped the Senate seat and Joe Biden won the state
• Colorado: HUGE VICTORY — we defeated ballot initiative 115 (a statewide ban on abortion) and flipped the Senate seat for John Hickenlooper
• Georgia: Major return on investment — we defended the 6th Congressional District, flipped the 7th Congressional District, forced a runoff in a crucial Senate race, and put the presidential race into toss-up territory for the first time in recent memory

We are seeing the results of our strategic investments to support mobilization in states like these pay off. Even more importantly — we’re changing the shape of future electoral maps!

NARAL members turned out voters for reproductive freedom in record numbers. This year alone, we reached millions of voters — during a pandemic, during racial justice uprisings, during a sham Supreme Court confirmation. Despite everything, this movement can’t be stopped or slowed down. All of us must join together to demand that every eligible vote is counted.

So please, if you can, donate now to keep up our momentum — we need to make sure that every single ballot is counted to ensure our democracy is upheld.

Despite the pandemic and in the face of deliberate barriers from day-long lines to attempts to eliminate drop off locations, we’ve done our job and turned out in record numbers.

The election isn’t over until we’ve counted every ballot — whether they’re mail-in ballots, early ballots, or votes cast on Election Day. That’s democracy. That’s what we stand for.

But now we must demand our election officials count every vote, as they have in previous elections.

Thank you for what you do for reproductive freedom, today and every day.

Forward,

Ilyse Hogue
President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
