The novel coronavirus doesn't just threaten the health of our citizens; it threatens the health of our democracy.
Images from Tuesday's primary in Wisconsin are haunting; people lined up for blocks and blocks, risking their health so they could cast a ballot.
That's not how this country is supposed to work. No registered voter - regardless of political party - should be prevented from casting a ballot.
That's why we need nationwide vote-by-mail. Sign the petition to tell Congress: Implement national vote-by-mail now!
Sign the petition to implement vote-by-mail & protect our elections. Add your name.

Americans shouldn't have to choose between exercising our constitutional right to vote and endangering our well-being.
This is critical for millions of people - seniors, Americans with compromised immune systems, people without health care - who deserve a voice and a vote, no matter what political party they belong to. It's also critical for folks on the front lines - doctors, nurses, biomedical researchers - who shouldn't be asked to leave work to stand in line at polling places.
In fact, coronavirus or not, vote-by-mail is the surest way to improve participation in our elections; here in Oregon, we've got one of the best voter turnout rates, thanks in no small part to our safe, efficient, effective vote-by-mail process. That's why my colleagues in the Oregon delegation and I have been leading the fight in Congress to pass national vote-by-mail.
There's no time to waste on this one. Add your name to demand Congress step up and protect our democracy by implementing nationwide vote-by-mail.
