A lot of what needs to be done is making sure that the Harris win is large enough that you can’t easily claim that a handful of ballots should be tossed and change the outcome. That means:

  • Check your voter registration — part of the Republican strategy has long been invalidating registrations so people can’t vote
  • Volunteer — nothing in the world quite like talking to people.
  • Donate — money is used for everything from ads to voter turnout operations
  • Organize; be prepared to turn out with others in your community to actively object to any effort to ignore your votes

    Thank you for this detailed response.

    I find it incredible that it’s not really the people who vote for their leader but some electors that, from my understanding, aren’t necessarily elected by the people?

      The original concept was that the electors were chosen by the State Legislature. So not directly via popular vote, but indirectly by a body that was elected by a popular vote, so is still accountable to the public.
