Okay, that worked! Votebeat is happening: a pop-up newsroom of local reporters covering voting and election administration before and after Nov 3. If the potential of a disputed election has you concerned, keep reading. https://twitter.com/elizwgreen/status/1303743319499878400
This project is happening thanks to the generosity of donors, First Amendment attorneys, @ProPublica’s Electionland project, @PENAmerica, @AmPress, @ElectionSOS, @Chartbeat, @INN, and support from a whole big slew of newsroom partners we’ll share in the coming days.
Among the states reporters will cover: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey -- states where voting and election administration will be under an intense spotlight with, so far, far too few reporters dedicated to covering it.
We’re still looking for reporters and editors to do this important work. If you’re a reporter or editor interested in covering voting in your state, please fill out this Google Form. https://forms.gle/rXPg6z9k7Hfjsy7B6
We still need to hit our $1 million target to ensure we’re able to get reporters on the ground in every battleground state we’ve identified where election administration demands coverage. If you’d like to make a financial contribution, you can do so here. https://forms.gle/z9gj3SpasvZyRSVa7
Next week, we’ll share more information about our project team and our newsroom partners. The team at @Chalkbeat never fails to impress me with its willingness and ability to rise to the occasion. Thank you.
