We should do that more often.
Congrats on another successful Election Day!
And congrats on reading this email — a few years ago, you probably wouldn’t have been reading an email like this and we certainly wouldn’t be sending one, because a few years ago people weren’t paying much attention to off-year elections.
But now we know better, and people across the country are showing up like we’ve never seen before.
* In Virginia, Democrats flipped both chambers of the legislature thanks to everyone who showed up to vote, spent time volunteering, and donated to make sure these campaigns had the resources they needed. Out of the 18 candidates our Fuck Gerry(mandering) fund supported, five candidates won and as many as four are looking at recounts. Every dollar made a difference.
* The Vote Save America community made over 50,000 donations to help raise over $250,000 that helped turn Virginia blue and will level the playing field for the next decade, starting with drawing fairer maps in 2021. It also means progressive priorities from expanding the vote, to raising the minimum wage, gun safety, the Equal Rights Amendment, expanding health care, and more, can now get done.
* In Kentucky, we saw record turnout for a gubernatorial race in the state, with almost 500,000 more voters turning out than in 2015. The race still hasn’t been officially called, but it looks like Democrat Andy Beshear won by about 5,000 votes (we TOLD you your vote mattered!). That’s great news for people in Kentucky who care about health care, education, and voting rights.
There were dozens of other exciting races across the country and the message was clear: a functioning democracy takes work, vigilance, and hope, even in off-years.
Over the last three years, we’ve won races that many didn't think we could — because people have put in the time registering, organizing, and giving people the knowledge and power to shape their communities. We’ve flipped the U.S. House and governor’s seats in nine states. We’ve flipped nine state legislative chambers and broke GOP supermajorities in five.
Now we’re less than a year out from the big one: Election Day 2020. You didn’t think we’d go an entire email without asking you to do anything, did you? Make sure everyone you know is registered! Vote Save America’s tools will be up and running all year — share with your friends so they can check that they’re registered and get registered if they aren’t! ([link removed])
