CALL TO ACTION
It’s Not Over: 250,000 Ohio Provisional Ballots Have Not Been Counted!
This Time We’re Watching – the League of Pissed Off Voters, Ruckus Society, and Truth Force Training Center – calls for a complete count of every ballot cast, as well as thorough investigations into the origin of each instance of disenfranchisement and voter suppression.
• To our organizers in Ohio: organize local actions throughout Ohio and go to Columbus for today's convergence if you can
• To our organizers outside of Ohio: continue with your advance plans locally, emphasizing solidarity with the voters of Ohio, citing any reports of voter suppression in your own district, and using the new talking points below
• Wear black or a black armband this week in solidarity (but don’t mourn, organize)
• Celebrate our work, strengthen our movement, LOVE EACH OTHER, don’t let them break our spirit
CRITICAL TALKING POINTS
• Count every vote – including all provisional ballots
• Demand systematic investigation of voting irregularities in local places nationwide - e.g. provisional balloting issues, absentee ballot issues, discrepancies with exit polling data, voting machine problems, polling places moved
• Our message to the Democrats: don’t concede until every vote is counted
• All eyes on Ohio

Dems: Don't Concede!
