Vote-by-Mail Campaign:
No Excuses Philly
THANK YOU to the thousands of volunteers who wrote more than half a million postcards this summer and fall! We originally set out to write at least 50,000 cards encouraging Democratic voters in Philly to vote by mail, and we blew past our wildest expectations!
Our Impact
​
When we launched our vote-by-mail project earlier this summer, we had no idea how successful it would be! We hoped to send at least 50,000 postcards to Democratic voters in Philly, encouraging them to vote by mail and keep our elections safe. Here's what we accomplished!
​​
-
365,450 vote-by-mail and GOTV postcards & addresses sent to our writers
-
44,550 voter registration addresses sent to our writers
-
50,000 GOTV addresses we sent as part of our project to a group in Ithaca, NY
-
GRAND TOTAL: 510,000 postcards!
​
We'll be crunching data once the election results are in, and will report back on the results of all this hard work--how many of our postcard recipients signed up to vote by mail, or made it to the polls in person. We're particularly interested to see if we've gotten bumps from people who sat out the last few elections! Stay tuned.
What Now?
