WASHINGTON, D.C.—People’s Action Director George Goehl today issued the following statement on the election:

“Count every vote, no matter how long it takes. Democracy includes us all. Anyone running for office can say whatever they want to, but it’s the will of the voters that decides. Donald Trump and Republicans know they’re losing and like any cowards would, are doing everything they can to try and steal this election and block our votes and voices. The voters will decide our next president. And once every single vote is counted, the will of the people will be overwhelmingly clear. Until then, People’s Action and our members will be in the streets fighting for justice and democracy.”
