Hi team -- it's nice to meet you!
My name is Vashitta Johnson, and I recently joined the voter protection team here at the Ohio Democratic Party.
I woke up this morning feeling inspired. There was massive voter turnout in Super Tuesday states last night -- Virginia saw double the Democratic turnout from 2016 -- and voters across the country sent a clear message to the GOP that we're ready to win come November.
At the same time, we're still seeing the effects of Republican policies, such as cutting down on polling locations, that make it harder for many Americans to vote. Some voters in Texas waited nearly seven hours to vote last night. And very often, these policies fall hardest on communities that traditionally vote Democratic -- African Americans, Latinos and college students. It's unacceptable.
And that's why I'm here. We at the ODP voter protection team are working around the clock to monitor early voting locations and Primary Election Day polling places to ensure that every eligible Ohio voter is able to cast a ballot on March 17.
Voter protection is incredibly important work, and we need you on this team. Send Republicans a message that making it harder to vote is unacceptable -- click here to chip in $15 to help us protect the right to vote.
