The more we prepare, the less likely the emergency becomes.
The more we win in court along the way, the fewer tools they have at their disposal to mess with the elections.
The more poll watchers sign up, observers, poll workers in the local communities, the more people...
Vote early.
The fewer people, the shorter the lines on election day itself.
There's all these things that people can do.
But we've got four short months to do this kind of organizing and get ready.
I'm grateful to everyone who's been preparing along the way.
And now it's a sprint.
If we win this fall, especially for the state and local offices, then we have people who can continue to say no to Trump's attempts to overturn the elections in the future.
And that's the first acid test for whether this big movement to make the government actually work for the public rather than for Elon Musk and friends.

The level of turnout in many states is below 50%.
In my state, it's like three quarters of people cast a ballot because everyone can see that their vote might be the thing that determines the outcome.
