Today’s Action: Help the recount in Florida
Over a week after midterms, the U.S Senate and Governor seats in Florida are still undecided — the races so close that they now head into a mandatory recount. Florida will be a vital state for Democrats in the 2020 election, and showed huge progressive shifts in this past election (including granting over one million former felons the right to vote, 9.2 percent of voting-age adults in the state). Both races are astonishingly neck-and-neck.
With Trump and Republicans wilfully conflating uncounted ballots with “forged” ballots in their usual disregard for truth, it is vital we fight the unfounded lies surging from the GOP with an actual, accurate recount.
That’s why Florida Democrats, Sen. Bill Nelson and gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, are calling for volunteers to assist with the recount, Thursday through Sunday of this week, and they need reliable Democrats ensuring every single vote gets counted.
With Georgia elections exposed for gross misconduct and voter suppression, it is clear from these midterms that the GOP is desperate to deny, destroy, or conceal votes that go against them. Georgia’s governor race is still undecided, as thousands of improperly dismissed ballots are now being counted.
But Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is leading the way into a new era with a clear motto: Count Every Vote. We must follow her lead beginning today, and in every election between now and 2020.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition telling Florida officials they must COUNT EVERY VOTE, and check out the brilliant “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff — a quick read that contains the ultimate keys for Democrats to win elections — and arguments.
