Count Every Vote

With millions of absentee ballots still being processed across the country right now, any attempts to halt the full count of votes at this moment is undemocratic and dangerous. The goal of any democratic election is to represent the will of the people – and to achieve that goal, we must count every single vote.

Moreover, refusing to count these ballots would disenfranchise voters of color disproportionately – nationally, 44 percent of the electorate who planned to vote by mail are voters of color. This is our democracy and voters decide the winner. Tell your representative to publicly support counting every vote before calling the election.

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
