Count Every Vote!
As religious leaders and people of faith and of goodwill, we demand that every vote is counted before any candidate is named the winner of the election.
We will not accept election results that are declared before all ballots are counted, including mail-in, early voting, and election day votes.
We expect individuals, institutions, businesses, law enforcement, and the military to uphold our democracy peacefully and to treat all individuals with respect.
Just like we would treat our own families. With compassion.
These don’t feel like unreasonable demands.
