That felt good to say. We'll go through all the big races and early data to unpack exactly what happened, including some of the races that are too close to call at this hour. And we'll also talk about what's next for both parties. And first, and most importantly, thank you to everyone who signed up for Votsave America, everyone who gave your time and your money and your energy to this campaign, especially in such a tough year. We said a lot of these incredibly close races would be decided by the margin of effort. And that's exactly what happened. That's because of all of you. So we wanted to thank you all for that. - All right, some stats. In this midterm cycle, VSA volunteers and donors raised $5.2 million and filled 46,672 volunteer shifts to help elect progressives and past progressive ballot measures across the country. And our VSA community of 1,270 super volunteers were a huge part of its success, making over 1.5 million voter contacts. That's amazing. - That's unbelievable. - That is unbelievable.
