Happy election eve everyone. A few things to remember as we head into tomorrow …
✅None of us know who will win the election. But we do know that the will of the people determines the outcome. Not a candidates’ declarations or any others’.
✅ We also know Michiganders are voting in record numbers, as reflected in the strong turnout during the early voting period. That’s a great thing for voters and for democracy.
✅Tomorrow Michigan’s professional election workers - Republicans, Democrats, and Independents- will do their jobs. They will count every valid vote.
✅Unofficial results will begin being reported shortly after 9pm EST, because 3 counties are in CST. Reports will include ballots cast by mail, early, and on Tuesday 11/5.
✅ I will hold a press conference tomorrow night, and post my remarks here, so that you can know exactly what we know, and what to expect in the hours that follow.
✅ Foreign bad actors may try to distract you from these facts, with misinformation and other tactics, throughout tomorrow and in the days ahead. Don’t let them fool you. Seek out trusted sources for reliable information, or visit https://t.co/I444qWpfBe to get answers.
✅ Finally, I know many of us are feeling anxious about the state of our democracy. Channel that anxiety into supporting and uplifting those working overtime to make sure every voice is heard in this election, and help us work together to rise above the noise and protect those who protect our elections.
If we do that, democracy will prevail.
Until tomorrow everyone -
