Dear PFAW Member--
Last night, the Supreme Court overruled Governor Evers' executive order to push back Wisconsin's primary date and extend the deadline for absentee ballots to be received. The Court ruled that all ballots must be received or post-marked by 8:00 P.M. today. The majority opinion, written by Brett Kavanaugh, demonstrates an utter lack of appreciation for the reality that voters will have to choose between exercising their rights to make their opinion known and their safety in a pandemic.This is completely unacceptable.
You'll have the opportunity to attend a quick 15 minute phonebanking training at 12:45 P.M. ET/11:45 A.M. CT/10:45 A.M. PT , 3:45 P.M. ET/2:45 P.M. CT/1:45 P.M. PT, and 5:45 P.M. ET/4:45 P.M. CT/3:45 P.M. PT and then get through to voters immediately.
At this point, the most impactful thing progressives can do is focus on hundreds of thousands of outstanding absentee ballots already received by voters that need to be cast today. Without being able to do a traditional door knocking program, we're asking for your help to make calls to let Wisconsinites know they need to postmark or turn in their ballots TODAY in order for their vote to count.
In the wake of this decision that will disenfranchise thousands of Wisconsin voters, we all need to take action to ensure that all possible votes are counted-- including the hundreds of thousands of voters who have received ballots in the mail that have yet to be returned to the Wisconsin Election Commission.
Thank you for doing your part to fight to get as many ballots returned as possible. Please be safe!
