It's here! Election day! Get out and vote if you haven't already, and if you've voted early, have trust in knowing your vote WILL be counted.
Tonight, we will likely not know the results of this election. We may not know the results for some time, and that’s okay. Counting every vote will take time, and the most important thing we can do now is trust the democratic process. And remember- over the past 250 years through pandemics, depressions, and world wars, Americans have always found a way to hold fair elections and make their voices heard.
As cases are rising be sure you are following all Covid-19 precautions- wear your mask, keep 6 feet of distance from others, avoid gathering with others and if you're feeling unwell, stay home! And most importantly– know where you can get a Covid test, see below for free, no insurance required sites
