Reply #6: I have been wondering what they're up to all night... [View All]

We got these emails from them that look very promising, but I wonder who they are talking about when they say they have thousands of volunteers helping with the recounts. Maybe they are just asking people in those states? Anybody know?:

Dear MoveOn member,

We're excited to tell you that your contribution yesterday not only helped us hit our goal of at least $250,000 to contribute to the Washington State recount but put the Gregoire campaign over the top. They announced today that they have successfully raised the minimum $750,000 that they need to proceed and they have called for the hand recount to begin. Christine Gregoire called personally and asked us to express her gratitude to you and other MoveOn members for helping ensure that all the ballots will be counted fairly.

Our efforts won't stop here: in Washington we are also recruiting MoveOn members to volunteer as recount observers, to watch that each ballot is counted fairly. A few thousand other volunteers have signed up for recounts in OH and NM. And additional funds raised above the $250,000 for the Gregoire campaign will go to support recounts and investigations in other states--overall we raised more than $400,000 including contributions from every state plus DC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

Fair and open elections are crucial prerequisites for a healthy country. Thank you again for your contribution and your help in safeguarding our democracy.

Sincerely,

--Adam Ruben
