Don't despair. Help turn out voters.

{NAME}, if you're reading about the polls and pundits, now is not the time for despair. They don't determine the outcome of this election. We do. Dear MoveOn member, In close elections like this one, there's one variable that matters most: turnout. In 2018 and 2020, Democrats turned out in record numbers, powering a blue wave in 2018 in which Democrats picked up 41 House seats and defeating Donald Trump in 2020. The outcome of this year's midterm elections depend on whether those Democratic "surge voters" in 2018 and 2020—who are largely young people and people of color—turn out to vote again this year. And those are the precise voters MoveOn is laser-focused on turning out: 6.6 million surge voters in the most important battleground states, to be exact. {NAME}, if you're reading about the polls and pundits, now is not the time for despair. They don't determine the outcome of this election. We do. [So help us. Will you rush a $3 last-minute donation to help get out the vote?]( The New York Times ran a headline this week about the "2022 Turnout Mystery."1 The article stated, "It's the biggest mystery of the midterms: Which groups of voters will turn out in the largest numbers?"2 MoveOn's team of data scientists spent months building and fine-tuning custom predictive models to identify the precise voters in the key states we need to turn out to win. Then they conducted unique and innovative scientific experiments to figure out the right messages and methods to communicate with these critical voters and motivate them to vote. We know who they are and how best to reach them, and now we need to turn them out to vote. It all comes down to what happens in these final few days and hours until the polls close.

Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are methodically enacting a plan to place some of Trump's most ardent supporters in key election offices that oversee vote counting, have the power to certify—or decertify—election results, and declare election winners and losers. We've launched a powerful, multimillion-dollar campaign to stop Trump. But we need your help to power our effort.
