I’m sure I don’t need to remind everyone of the importance of this year’s Presidential Election.  In addition to electing Kamala Harris & Tim Walz (and saving democracy), we will be working to re-elect our senior US Senator Bob Casey and Chester County’s own Chrissy Houlahan to the US House of Representatives.

Democrats hold the slimmest of majorities (102-101) in the state House and need to gain three state Senate seats to have the majority there. That would enable state government to finally solve some of the real problems of the Commonwealth that Republicans refuse to address. These include real support for public education, addressing gun safety, climate and environment action, and guaranteeing reproductive freedoms.

I can assure you that Republicans are going to fight hard for every seat; as a ‘swing state’, Pennsylvania is in the forefront of the Presidential race as well as control of Congress. We’ve already seen what promises to be a tsunami of Republican negative attack ads – because when your candidates and policies are so bad and out of step they can’t find new voters, they must instead turn voters to hate Democrats.

And when Republican candidates can’t win fairly, their only hope (like with the ‘Big Lie’ in 2020) is to cloud elections with confusion and uncertainty and hope to cheat their way to victory. We must not let that happen. Donald Trump and Republicans are recruiting 100,000 ‘Election Integrity’ poll watchers, poll workers, and poll judges, holding in-person and virtual training sessions in  Pennsylvania. There is little doubt these ‘MAGA Patriots’ will claim, without evidence, voting irregularities sufficient to delay election results and take these lies all the way to the extreme right Supreme Court.

This is where we need your help. We must not only work for massive turnout here in Chester County to build irrefutable win margins, but we must also find volunteers for poll watching and vote count monitoring to ensure that, when taken to courts, wild Republican  claims and lies are defeated  by evidence and our own monitoring.

Please consider volunteering to work on Election Day (or night) for real election integrity. You can sign up here and we will work with you for training and scheduling.
