Rally ‘round the ballots

About 40 people join a rally and walk in downtown Sequim on Wednesday afternoon to support the counting of all ballots in the 2020 general election.

Organized in part by Indivisible Sequim, the event — which was expected to have participants from Port Angeles and Port Townsend as well as Sequim — was part of a nationwide rally by Protect the Results, a coalition of more than 100 groups. “

This is America; all our votes must count and be counted,” said Elizabeth Schilling, event co-organizer.

The pair joined an event organized in part by Indivisible Sequim and part of a nation-wide rally to protect the results of the 2020 general election in case President Donald Trump refuses to concede.
