John,

Two weeks have now gone by since Election Day. We know, it's felt like months! There’s a lot of gratitude to go around, but today we’re asking you to join us in thanking election officials for their hard work and integrity in the face of challenging conditions

In the weeks and months leading up to Election Day, we, the voters, turned out in record numbers to elect leaders that care about all of us. Trusted local officials were preparing all year for this election, but their work didn’t stop once every ballot was cast. Officials and community members that served as poll workers worked into the night to verify and count every vote. Today, election officials submitted the final canvass and certification for all 72 counties, which means we may get the final statewide results certified this week.

Despite a global pandemic and deliberate attempts to make it difficult for marginalized communities to vote, most Wisconsinites reported having a good experience in casting their ballot. There’s still a lot we can do to strengthen our democracy, but ultimately the will of the people won out in this election and that has a lot to do with the diligence and integrity of our local election officials and the community members that staffed the polls.

So today, we’re asking you to join us in saying thank you to the election heroes that made this election possible, from clerks to tech staff to poll workers.

Join us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and share our thank you message.

Encourage your network to join the movement to thank the election heroes that made this process as successful and smooth as it was. Don’t forget to include the hashtags #ElectionHeroes and #AllinWisconsin. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Thank you for all you do,

A Better Wisconsin Together
