As we wait for votes to be counted, we know this waiting period is exactly what should be happening. Election officials are working around the clock to count ALL ballots, and it’s essential that they take the time to make sure every vote is counted. Remember: a complete and accurate ballot count is more important than a fast ballot count. We may not get a complete count on election night, and that's OK — it means our trusted election administrators are counting every ballot.
Election heroes are state and territorial officials, local election officials, their staff, poll workers and many more who work to ensure a safe, secure, accessible election. Join us in thanking them today on Election Hero Day!
