Count Every Hero held a press conference to discuss the impact of military ballots on the vote count in the 2020 presidential election.

Washington, DC — Count Every Hero held a virtual press conference on Thursday while vote-counting was ongoing.

Members of Count Every Hero urged calm and demanded that every vote be accurately counted in response to the filing of lawsuits attempting to stop the counting of military ballots in several states and the rising possibility of political unrest.

“These votes of our military men and women in fact could be the deiciding votes at the end of the count. So it’s tremendously important for us to ensure that that count is done properly, that their votes are included. . . if we’re the greatest democracy in the world, we need to demonstrate it by being able to conduct a systematic and peaceful election in this country.”
