Common Ground Turned Out over 16,000 voters for 2020 Presidential Election https://t.co/F6Bf2nSvX7 @commongroundwi

How does a donation to Common Ground make an impact? This year our Get Out the Vote Campaign helped 16,302 people cast their votes, including many first-time voters like Mr. Humphreys. Just one example of our work. https://t.co/JuM5Qtz4El #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesday2020 #GOTV

. @CommonGroundWI has workers at 7 polling places in Milwaukee. They partnered with Election Commission. They estimate they’ve helped 15,000 people vote this election. #Elections2020 #VoteWisconsin

Just a few of the first-time voters our #GOTV team has met today. #ElectionDay2020 #MKE

[CommonGroundWI @CommonGroundWI]

This is what our #GOTV efforts are all about. Great work @JenniferMaddenO and team! #ElectionDay2020

"That’s absolutely incorrect,” O’Hear told her colleague. After a call to an attorney, the polling worker reportedly allowed the woman to vote. O’Hear sighed in relief.

It was one of the many voter issues she’d fielded on Election Day, and it was just 8:30 a.m.

Jennifer O’Hear (@CommonGroundWI) fielded messages from organizers at polling places across Milwaukee.

She got a call about a voter who was turned away for not bringing in the absentee ballot she had received, but not sent in, when choosing to instead vote in person. (cont.)

Without proof of residency, many people in recovery and residential reentry programs are often turned away from the polls (as these folks had been in 2 previous elections). But Common Ground got that proof and got them to the polls. #gotv #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

[CommonGroundWI @CommonGroundWI]

Members of our GOTV team are helping people get to the polls today. Many first-time voters! #ElectionDay #Vote2020

"No matter who wins this year, it’s imperative that we improve our voting systems to give everyone the chance to have their say." Read how groups like the Battle for Democracy Fund and @CommonGroundWI are fighting for just voting rights. https://t.co/ByDqC7n0Go

Check out #FightDisinfo to see a panel discussion CG and Greater Cleveland Congregations (@KeishaKrumm) participated in about how to fight election disinformation!

[CommonGroundWI @CommonGroundWI]

@UCSUSA A8. What gives us hope is the number of voters we’ve helped navigate the system. To help someone realize just how important their voice is & get them excited about voting is what fuels us. Keeping the stories of those people in focus gives us so much energy! #FightDisinfo

[CommonGroundWI @CommonGroundWI]

@UCSUSA A7. When someone in you know is adding to disinformation & fear, let them know that. Tell them what they are saying is not true & the impacts spreading disinformation can have. Be kind & remember that they might not know they are helping spread false information #FightDisinfo
