“I’m tired.” You’ve heard me say it before, but it's true.

I’m tired of Trump’s attacks on democracy. His assault on the rule of law.

I’m tired of the legacy media’s false equivalency and desire to please Trump.

I’m tired of big law and business leaders doing nothing while democracy is attacked.

But I’m also just tired, and I know many of you are feeling it too.

I’ve done this work for over 30 years, and no midterm election has been this critical to the future of our country. It consumes my every waking hour.

I have always worked long hours. But lately, those hours have been even longer.

When we win one case, another one pops up. When we protect one voter, Republican operatives put 10 more at risk of losing their rights. When we win a case, the GOP appeals to the Supreme Court.

Ever since Trump entered politics, I feel like Sisyphus — endlessly rolling a boulder to the top of a steep hill, only to watch it roll back down.

It is not just the hours that have me drained. It is the emotional toll.

I am not an optimist by nature, but over the last few weeks, hope has been ever harder to find than usual.

But there is another thing about this election that is different.

Every day, my inbox fills with messages from readers like you.

I go live on YouTube almost nightly to answer your questions, but also because connecting with you directly gives me energy and hope. You tell me you’re tired too. You tell me to keep going.

“We know it won't be over on Tuesday, and I'm reassured to know you'll be there,” Dean wrote.

Kellee sent me this message on Friday morning: “Who knows if anyone will read this, but it feels good to send it. Thank you all for the work you are doing to help save our democracy. Keep the faith.”

I read it, Kellee. I read all of them.

I know you’ve been working long, hard hours, too. I see the photos you send me from protests, marching with your friends and neighbors to save democracy.

Molly shared that she was on her way to the post office with her last batch of postcards to voters before the big day. “I’m proud to support your work,” she wrote.

Just as you’ve been organizing in your communities, my law firm has spent the last year preparing for the worst-case scenarios in every district and state.

We’ve planned for every scenario we can imagine. We’ve left no stone unturned, and I can feel the momentum is moving in our direction.

But Dean is right: It won’t be over on Tuesday.

These races will be close, and Trump and his lawyers will contest every last one. My team will be in court for as long as it takes, and Democracy Docket will be covering every twist and turn.

Here’s what I’m asking of you for these final days:

First, make your plan to vote and VOTE.

Second, rally your community. Check in with the friends, family and neighbors who might need a reminder, a ride or a little encouragement.

Third, share our work. We’ve taken down our paywall through the election so that everyone can get the facts. Send our coverage to someone who needs it.

And if you can, please consider becoming a Premium member. Our members make it possible for Democracy Docket to keep covering every lawsuit and every challenge long after Tuesday.

The work we have already done gives me hope for victory on Election Day, and in the long days and nights that will come after. I rest a little easier knowing that I have a powerful, hardworking pro-democracy community by my side.

Thank you. Let’s finish this together.
