Democracy is worth waiting for

 

There are a lot of predictions about how the 2020 election will play out on Tuesday, but one thing is almost certain: we are not going to have results on election night.

 

And that’s okay.  

 

With the increase in mail-in ballots in every state this year due to COVID-19 risks, immediate results are not possible on November 3. This year, we’re going to have to wait for democracy to run its course. We need to allow time for every vote to be counted accurately and completely. 

 

We’re facing new challenges to our election system, but our democracy already has the solutions needed to persevere and succeed. If we take our time, we can still ensure election rights, access, and accuracy for all voters.  

 

Share the message: Our democracy is worth waiting for.
