Support Lexi Harder's determination to make her vote count
Donation protected
*UPDATE* I've made contact with Lexi, and she is grateful for the support, but doesn't want to accept the donation and would rather it goes back to the fundraisers, or be given to a charity. please message me your preference between the two, and I will post an update with the consensus and a charity picked by Lexi if that is everyone's vote.
Lexi Harder (a masters student in Berlin) paid $75 to mail her absentee ballot express to ensure its arrival. When it was returned to her days before Election Day, she bought a round trip flight for $875 to her home in Montgomery County, PA. This fund was started to cover the costs of her travel and express mail-in ballot. She has not requested this fund, but all funds will go directly to her.
From Harder: “I’m a Pennsylvania voter. I grew up here. I’m currently living in Germany for a Master’s degree… I registered for an absentee ballot. I filled it out, kept checking my tracking updates and it was never received. I think it got stuck in customs for two weeks and then got sent back. And two hours after I get this ballot back on my desk, I looked at flights and I booked the ticket to leave the next day at 10 a.m., so less than 24 hours later, I was back in America. It’s really important to me that my vote is heard in such an important swing state.”
