Dear John,

Tell your Governor: Help make sure every vote is counted.

Voting is our fundamental right and a pillar of American democracy. Tell your Governor to count every vote.
This year, more people than ever voted by mail. Mail in ballots are still coming in. We don’t know the election results yet, and that’s ok.
But in swing states like Arizona and Michigan, anti-democracy extremists are showing up at polling places in an attempt to disrupt the vote count. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to delegitimize valid ballot-counting processes. That’s why we need your help, John, to demand your Governor ensure all eligible votes are counted.
Tell your Governor and election officials: Every vote must be counted!
The process of counting votes is under attack. Armed, anti-democracy extremists have taken to the streets, even going so far to storm poll counting locations to try to undermine the process. They are using fear and intimidation tactics to attack the democratic process.
Tensions are high. The process is taking longer than normal. But election officials who are trying to tally the votes should not be facing fear and harassment.
Governors around the country need to stand up to protect vote counting to ensure that every vote is counted -- safely!
Demand your Governor take action to ensure every vote is counted.
During this election, we have faced a pandemic that has led to an unprecedented number of mail-in votes, required safety protocols to keep voters and poll workers safe, and longer timelines for counting ballots.
But poll workers and state election officials have been working round-the-clock to release results as quickly as possible without compromising accuracy. This is critical to preserve the integrity of the election.
Right now, we must give local election administrators time and space to do their job. Every vote counts. Remind your Governor to uphold the voting process.
Tell your Governor: Every vote counts.
Standing with you,
Liz Butler,
VP of organizing and strategic alliances,
Friends of the Earth
