As California Democrats, we pride ourselves in our diversity, inclusivity, and equity. Uplifting the voices of people from a wide range of backgrounds and political perspectives is what we’re all about. That's what makes us a big tent party -- and that’s why it’s so important that we fight to make sure each and every single vote is counted.

Put plainly, our democracy is stronger when every voice is heard.

This election will be unlike any we’ve ever experienced. The stakes have never been higher, and attempts to suppress our votes and our voices have never been so sweeping. We may not know the outcome for weeks after Election Day. The health and sanctity of our democracy depends on the steps we take today. California Democrats are spearheading the oversight necessary to ensure our elections are free, fair, and called accurately.

We demand that every single vote be counted fairly and accurately before declaring a winner in the presidential election and in our critical congressional and ballot measure campaigns.
