Vote by mail, every state, coast to coast.
We need social distancing,
We need to up the voter participation,
We need to make it easier to vote,
We need a work around for long lines at polls, often contrived,
We need a work around for too few voting machines at some locations often contrived,
We need to stop the changing of polling places at the last minute,
We need to trash the use of electronic voting machines who's votes tabulated can not be audited, but easily manipulated.
We need to think smarter and use the techniques used by republicans. Disasters mean immediate corrective reforms are required. When disaster strikes we must be at the ready with plans to bring drastic change that reshuffled the deck in our favor.
WE MUST PUSH FOR MAIL IN VOTING NATION WIDE, for the up coming November 2020 election and every local, state, and national election thereafter.
ALL OF THE VOTING PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE magically disappear with mail in only voting.
The emphasis should be we need to social distance, we do not know when the pandemic will be over, many election poll workers are elderly, we can not take the chance these elderly poll workers will get COVID-19 or the general voting population.
WE MUST SET UP AND VOTE BY MAIL 11/2020.

(14,998 posts)Frequently. Ask them what their plan is. We have 100% VBM in Oregon and it's wonderful. At the very least, sign yourself up for Absentee voting. Even if your state requires a reason, I think "pandemic" is a decent one.
The problem in states run by Republicans is that they don't WANT people to vote. Problem is, that leaves out their voters too. Conundrum if you want to rig another election.

Took my sweet time.
felt like a much better voter, being so informed on all the candidates rather than just voting blindly as I've done in the past.
