MAKE CALLS TO CURE PA BALLOTS: POSSIBLE SENATE SEAT FLIP
With absentee, overseas, and other ballots yet to be counted, as well as rejected ballots to be cured, the Pennsylvania election isn’t over yet. Several races have very thin margins, and curing rejected ballots could give us several more victories. What’s more, adding these cured ballots to the over 100,000 outstanding votes yet to be counted could even eliminate GOP candidate McCormick’s 32,00 vote lead and flip the Senate seat back to Blue! No matter where we live, we can join PA Dems to make calls to help cure ballots in PA! Voters have until November 12 to fix their rejected ballots, and there are several days and times for us to call them.
LET’S THANK KAMALA HARRIS
Kamala Harris willingly jumped in when asked. Her super short campaign was, by most critics’ opinion, flawless. Nonetheless, she did not win. The Vice President deserves our thanks for her bravery, her leadership, and her tireless effort to bring us together. Let’s contact her one of these ways: 1) Online: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact, 2) Phone comments: 202-456-1111, or 3) Snail Mail: The White House, Office of the Vice President, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20500
LEARNING MORE ABOUT FASCISM AND AUTHORITARIAN LEADERS
Ruth Ben-Ghiat is an American historian whose academic focus is fascism and authoritarian leaders. As Trump admires these kinds of leaders and hopes to be one, it is important to listen to experts in this area. Dr. Ben-Ghiat has a Substack (Lucid) that we are welcome to subscribe to. Let’s read her thoughts after the election: “The Aftermath. Fighting Fascism by Building On All That We Achieved During the Campaign”.
STATE SPECIFIC
CA - HELP CURE BALLOTS IN PERSON IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OR CENTRAL VALLEY
Several House races in California are still in play and control of House, or at least increasing our numbers there, is still possible, especially if we act now, in person to help cure ballots in these key Southern California and Central Valley districts. Our in person actions can help elect Democrats Adam Gray (CA-13), Rudy Salas (CA-22), George Whitesides (CA-27), Derek Tran (CA-45), and Dave Min (CA-47). Margins are extremely thin and shifting in some of those races, and our efforts can really make a difference. Winning back the House this time is still a possibility. Even if we come up short, every seat we gain helps and puts us in a better position for Midterm elections. We can check out this list from Activate America and then sign up to help cure California ballots in person.
