Dear Friends,
On the eve of the presidential inauguration, we want to thank you for your support during the RecountOhio fight. Despite the disappointing results of the recount in Ohio, there are positive accomplishments emerging from your efforts:
1. You Helped Spread The Word: Your support enabled a campaign in the media and online to shed light on election day inconsistencies and the lack of confidence many Americans have with the voting system.

The Votes Were Recounted: Despite a disappointing result, pressure from many groups forced election officials in Ohio to acknowledge problems and conduct a recount.
3. It Didn't End Quietly and Congress Is Not Letting The Fight Die: This campaign led members of Congress to hold the first debate on election results in decades. While most members agreed to uphold the election results many have promised to continue to fight to ensure fair elections. Members of Congress, such as John Conyers and Stephanie Tubbs Jones are continuing the investigation and asking the Government Accountability Office to make recommendations for conducting fairer elections going forward (visit www.recountohio.org to learn more).
Going Forward: We must continue to ensure that elections are conducted fairly and that partisan officials do not have a major role in running elections. We must also hold legislators to their word - that they will affect change in our electoral system.
In the coming weeks and months, we welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions for how we can work together to ensure a brighter future for America.
Please respond to this e-mail or visit www.recountohio.org to give us your thoughts on how we should go forward.
Again, thank you for all you have done, this would not have been possible without your support.
Best, Michael and Jason
