Hi,
Last night's election isn't over yet. Several crucial states remain too
close to call, with millions of ballots left to count -- and Donald Trump
wants to stop them from being counted.
We need to make it extremely clear to elected officials in these states
that they must count every vote. Can you send that message to them right
now?

Trump and his fellow Republicans were already blocked from preventing
votes from being counted before the election, in states like Texas and
Nevada. But Trump is going to try again, as he's already making absurd and
reckless claims that show once again he does not respect our democracy.
Voter suppression is already a huge problem in this country. Since the
Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, Republicans have
gotten away with more and more blatant acts making it harder for people,
especially people of color, to vote.^1
But what Trump is attempting is even worse. He wants to stop the counting
now in order to claim a victory he has not actually won. He would rather
deny people their right to vote and have their ballots counted than accept
defeat. We cannot let him or anyone else block eligible votes from being
counted.
Public pressure can go a long way toward making sure every vote is
counted. Can you step up now and tell elected officials to resist efforts
to stop the count?
