How To Steal An Election

If you’re looking for more information on what we could accomplish with the next climate-focused US Presidential term, check out the new and improved Evergreen Action Plan 2.0: https://evergreenaction.com/initiativ...

Our good friends at Climate Changemakers have made this handy voter registration page, which will make it breezy as hell for you to register to vote in the US, if you’re not already set up to vote: https://www.climatechangemakers.org/q...

And if you want to get more involved, Climate Changemakers also lined up this Vote Forward page, where you can write letters and send them to potentially critical prospective voters in swing states. You can write about whatever you want, but if you’re reading this, you might want to focus on the exciting and actually very good climate action that could come from the next climate-focused US President: https://votefwd.org/climatechangemakers

The 2000 election gets even more complex and convoluted if you dig deeper, so I encourage you to check out the documentaries ‘537 Votes,’ ‘Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election,’ and ‘Bush v. Gore: 'Too close to call.' Oh, you’re tryna go REALLY deep? Okay, read ‘Too Close To Call’ by Jeffrey Toobin and Jews For Buchanan by John Nichols. That should do it.
