Support our election coverage
Today is one of our busiest days of the year, so we’ll keep this short so you can get to the rest of today’s newsletter. We’ve been covering stories tied to today’s election and races since August, but our work is far from done when the ballots are all counted. In the days and months ahead, our team will keep digging and reporting on how new officials and policies are playing out.
This work takes time and money, and we know you value what we do—otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading this. So if you can make a donation today in support of our election coverage (and everything else we do), we’d appreciate it greatly. Thank you! Now, onto the news 👇
