Election Day Media Briefings with Common Cause

WASHINGTON

Today and tomorrow, Common Cause election experts will brief the media on what voters are experiencing in key swing states, based on the eyes and ears of the volunteers in our largest-ever voter protection field program. Right now thousands of nonpartisan poll monitors and social media monitors are working across the country to ensure that all eligible voters can exercise their right to vote safely and securely. Leaders from Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin are expected on the media calls based on breaking news. Links to video recordings of each briefing will be distributed after each call.
