Last week, voters in Wisconsin were forced to choose between protecting their health and participating in our democracy.

We can’t let this happen again.

Congress must institute reforms that will allow voters to safely cast their ballots and that will provide states the funding to run safe and secure elections in the midst of the coronavirus emergency.

Call your senators now and urge them to include the necessary funding to secure our elections in the next stimulus package.

Voters should not have to choose between their health and their vote.

It will take at least $4 billion in funding for states to increase vote-by-mail, expand early voting and online and same-day registration, and ensure the safety of voters and poll workers, among others reforms.

Voting by mail or absentee ensures that voters can participate in elections without having to venture outside during the pandemic. Expanded early voting will ensure that voters who need to vote in person won’t face long lines or crowds.

To win funding in time for the November election, we need to demand that our elected officials act now to pass $4 billion in funding to secure our elections in the upcoming stimulus.

Call your senators today.

We’ve already seen the impact of the coronavirus on the primaries.

We must ensure that voters can safely, securely and efficiently exercise their right to vote while still protecting their health.

If we act together, we can win the measures needed to secure our elections.

Thanks for taking action.

Stay safe.
