I pledge to vote, to be patient, to use my voice, and to do my part to ensure a fair and accurate vote count.
See you next week!

To Newsrooms Across America — Stand With Democracy
You have a huge responsibility. Only declare a winner when you are certain of the result.
COVID-19 has Americans voting by mail in record numbers and these ballots can arrive after the election is over.
If newsrooms declare a winner too soon, they could get it wrong and threaten the election.
Tell news leaders not to declare a winner until they’re certain of the result.*
*The Inwood Gazette pledges to abide by these guidelines.
