Please read this powerful essay. As chair of both @NOD_ItsAbility and @VoteSafe I will continue to work to ensure that all of us can vote safely this November. States must use the months remaining to provide safe in-person & absentee voting options. -TR

This is *actually* how many congressional districts look all over the country due to extreme partisan gerrymandering.

Americans deserve free and fair elections, and the time to start preparing is now. Congress must approve more funding for a safe, secure, and accessible 2020 election before it’s too late. https://t.co/oBF6QHd5tf

Time to bring #VoteByMail to New York State!!

[Amber McReynolds @AmberMcReynolds]

Nationally, 78% of Americans support voting by mail. In 46 states, more than three quarters of the public supports voting by mail in the upcoming election. KY (73%), & TN, AL, & MS (each 74%).

Could it be more obvious?

Important: Ranked Choice Voting will officially be on the ballot in Massachusetts!

From ranked choice voting to anti-gerrymandering, Americans across the country are waking up and demanding we fix our broken political system. Let’s win this November.

[RepresentUs @representus]

Ranked Choice Voting means you can vote for the candidate you like most without fearing the "spoiler effect".

It also ensures candidates need to have *majority support* to win elections.

It's gaining momentum across the country - here's how it works.

👏👏👏
We need poll workers more than ever. Check out how Americans are working together to make sure every voter can cast their ballot.

This is absolutely the right move. What may an even better long-term solution, though, is to just make a permanent #VoteByMail system. Just one fewer thing we need to worry about if we find ourselves in a similar situation in the future.

[Campaign Legal Center @CampaignLegal]

#Massachusetts Gov. @CharlieBakerMA signed a bill giving all Mass. residents the option to vote absentee for the 2020 primary & general elections. This is the right approach: ALL voters should have the opportunity to request an absentee ballot this year.

[Represent Albany @AlbanyRepresent]

Absolutely! It's time to allow voters to exercise their right to vote while staying safe at home. Voter turnout has been great for all these states that have allowed for expanded absentee voting, so why not make it permanent? #VoteByMail

[VoteSafe @VoteSafe]

Higher voter turnout during a pandemic is a huge win.

When given the option, 3/4 of Kentuckians chose to practice their civic responsibility safely with a secure mail-in ballot.

[League of Women Voters of the US @LWV]

Nearly 75% of Kentuckians successfully cast their ballots by mail in the primary. Read about how expanding absentee ballot voting increased voter turnout in Kentucky: https://t.co/0VuJNQzRRo @LWVKY

[Represent Albany @AlbanyRepresent]

Thank you so much for spreading this invaluable information. It's time to bust these myths and get #VoteByMail systems in place all over the US, including in NYS!

[National Vote At Home Institute @voteathome]

Anyone who read @Sulliview’s article, followed @AriBerman @pamelafessler @PoliticsWolf or others’ coverage of the benefits of voting by mail recently: welcome to the party! Here are some points we’d like to highlight for clarity & easy reference:

"We've been using mail-in balloting since the civil war. This assertion that there will be massive fraud because of #absenteeballots is #fakenews. We can safely and securely preserve all electoral options for voters in a #bipartisan way." -Tom @RidgeGlobal #VoteSafe
