@LWVofWake I sent members of the redistricting committee postcards and retweeted some. My girls helped me put the postage the cards. It was great to talk to them about why we are writing these cards and how important #fairmaps are to NC!

@LWVofWake Voters should choose their elected officials not the other way around! #FairMaps

[Aliana Ramos @AlianaInRaleigh]

Hopefully NC Lawmakers are willing to commit to public input in #redistricting by putting @LWVofWake 's recs into action! @NCLeg @NCGOP @NCDemParty

@DouglasSoule This is quite interesting to see. There were four when I was in elementary school, but I really only remember three congressional seats.

@appodlachia I love Floyd, VA. It's lovely, lots of good places to eat and shop in the area.

@StaceyJSpiehler Clara Lou. My mom made my middle name Claire in homage to my grandma (or Nan Nan as I called her).

@katcampbellwx @919Mandy Amen to this! I just bought a new tree, ornaments, and hand towels as a way to have new things to look at in my home.

@andreabeaty Looking forward to this! Our family loves this book series. Thank you!

We must protect and fund the U.S. Postal Service. RT if you agree.

Postal Service warns 46 states their voters could be disenfranchised by delayed mail-in ballots https://t.co/REhKEadqkH

[Weijia Jiang @weijia]

The @USPS is sending letters to some states warning mail-in ballots may not be delivered in time to be counted in the Presidential election because their deadlines are too tight.

So far @CBSNews has confirmed Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan—all critical swing states.

Trump saying clearly on Fox why he won’t fund USPS. “Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots...But if they don’t get those two items that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting...”

Billed as “the Most Democratic Fete ever attempted in Pittsburgh,” the Equal Franchise Federation held its Suffrage Shirtwaist Ball more than one hundred years ago in November 1916. Learn more: https://t.co/N8yP1RIOQK #ArchivesGetsTheVote

[U.S. National Archives @USNatArchives]

August 2020 marks 100 years since the ratification of the #19thAmendment.

While it gave women the right to vote, it didn't extend voting rights to all American women. The struggle for suffrage continued for many women, especially women of color, in the US.

[NC Museum of History @NCmuseumhistory]

Anna Julia Haywood Cooper (1858 - 1964) was one of North Carolina’s early, outspoken suffragists. She was born in Raleigh and attended Saint Augustine's College, going on to become the 4th black American woman to earn a doctoral degree https://t.co/DXe2bLH8bd

[Smithsonian @smithsonian]

In 1915 New York City, Lyda Newman and other working mothers found a clever way to balance childcare and political organizing.

Our new #BecauseOfHerStory series shows how women worked together for the right to vote. Watch more: https://t.co/yeINqIepla

Even leaving the election effects on the side, hunting for cost-savings at USPS *right now* makes no sense. Everyone's stuck at home, money's flying off the printer for PPP loans, who cares about a public utility running a debt? https://t.co/iVni45h5DW
