Post-midterm reflections THREAD: I am #thankful for every voter who looked at the candidates on their ballot and chose those who respect our electoral process over those who do not, especially candidates running for important election-related offices such as Secretary of State.

I give thanks for the thousands of volunteers and election officials who worked to ensure that #voting and vote counting proceeded efficiently and fairly. #midterms2022 #VotingRights

I am also thankful for the numerous pro-democracy groups (including @CampaignLegal!) who guarded vigilantly against efforts to disenfranchise #voters, and responded when necessary, including with legal challenges. #midterms2022

While the contest for control of #Congress dominated the post-midterm discussion, a number of ballot initiatives were approved at the state level that deserve attention and thanks for the voters who brought them over the finish line. #midterms2022 newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

While it is certainly true that candidates who sowed distrust in our elections were rejected in many races across the country, some of those elections were too close for comfort, including in the swing states of Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin. #midterms2022

The message from all of this is clear: The movement to protect and strengthen our democracy that asserted itself during the midterms needs to continue with the same vigor and passion heading into the contentious 2024 election. #midterms2022
