President Joe Biden urged Americans to vote in favor of democracy, reject election-denying candidates and be patient with results ahead of the first national Election Day held since the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Biden cited recent polls that show Americans are concerned with the state of democracy and reminded voters they can confront it at the ballot box. The choices made now, Biden said, will determine whether democracy in the United States will endure.
"We need to start looking out for each other again, seeing ourselves as we the people, not as entrenched enemies," Biden said."This is a choice we can make. Disunion and chaos are not inevitable. There's been anger before in America, there's been division before in America, but we've never given up on the American experiment and we can't do that now."
Biden also reminded Americans that in many states absentee ballots cannot be counted before polls close on Election Day, which means it will take time for the final results to come in. This became a central point of contention for conspiracy theorists during the 2020 election, particularly as many Democrats voted by mail amid the coronavirus pandemic. Far-right election deniers claimed the legally cast ballots were fraudulent.
"It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner," Biden said."It's always been important for citizens in a democracy to be informed and engaged. Now it's important for citizens to be patient as well."
