This midterm election would not have been possible without the outstanding work of election officials across our nation, who worked tirelessly to uphold our democracy. We thank you for following very specific laws and detailed procedures, for serving voters all year long amidst threats and intimidation, and for not wavering in your dedication to run safe and secure elections.
Thank you to the front desk workers at election offices: you took phone calls from voters in the days, weeks, and even months leading up to November 8th, fielding questions about polling locations, absentee deadlines, sample ballots, and voter registrations.
Thank you to the Election Day recruiters and coordinators for your efforts to properly train poll workers — polling sites across the nation had well-trained and nonpartisan election workers overseeing the process, allowing elections to remain an open and transparent process.
And a huge thank you to the poll workers who worked tirelessly for weeks to serve voters face-to-face, taking special care of elderly and disabled voters, and supporting voters casting a ballot for the first time.
