Media outlets need to do a lot of work to set expectations about how fair elections go - counting takes a long time, ensuring security takes a long time with mail-in ballots, *many elections should be considered too close to call on election day* - that's normal now

We need many bipartisan groups working together... "to affirm a set of core principles
that should govern elections and warn against the erosion of core democratic norms."

Leaders of all stripes should work against voter suppression. And, "Social media companies have a unique responsibility to prevent the use of their platforms for efforts that would suppress votes through the spread of
misinformation about voting."
