Hi Friend,

 

It’s Thursday for those of you who have lost count. 


If it’s Thursday, that can only mean one thing: it’s time for another three
things. 


Here are three things to think about this week.

Like we’ve been saying: vote at home has no partisan bias.
<[link removed]>

In case you weren’t aware, vote at home is the best way to ensure a
representative election that’s also safe for every voter. Despite being a safe
and secure way to cast a ballot, some partisans have been outspoken against
vote at home, arguing that it will swing the election in one way or another.
(Despite evidence from states that use all-vote-at-home systems that shows
that’s not the case.)


Now there’s even more evidence to back us up: vote at home isn’t partisan
<[link removed]>. A new,
hot-off-the-presses study by researchers at Stanford looked at election results
in states that had allowed counties to progressively adopt vote at home. Their
conclusion? “[Vote at home] is remarkably neutral in its partisan effects.”

version here <[link removed]>!)

Independent redistricting is constitutional, because of course it is.
<[link removed]>

It was a good week for fair representation this week, as the 6th Circuit Court
of Appeals unanimously upheld
<[link removed]>
a lower court’s decision that Michigan’s recently passed independent
redistricting commission laws were indeed constitutional, meaning that
Michiganders will finally have a chance at fair maps ahead of the 2021
redistricting process!


This is a huge victory for Michigan, and one that would not have been possible
without our friends atCampaign Legal Center and Voters Not Politicians. (For
those of you unfamiliar with Voters Not Politicians, check out the film “Slay
the Dragon <[link removed]>” while you’re on
lockdown).


People should choose their politicians, not the other way around. Learn more

Finally, be the solution. <[link removed]>

Between the Democrats and the Republicans, governors and the federal
government, WHO, the CDC, and seemingly every other government entity this
week, there has been a lot of finger pointing going around. Everybody, it
seems, thinks it’s everybody else’s fault that the coronavirus pandemic has
upended Americans’ lives as much as it has.

 

But amidst the finger pointing, real Americans continue to suffer as the
country faces historic unemployment numbers with the economy placed at all but
a stand still. More than22 million
<[link removed]>
people have lost their jobs in the last month. Our fellow Americans need our
help <[link removed]>.

 

Right now, we can’t get distracted by tiger kings or the political games in
Washington. As reform victories in Michigan, Virginia, and countless other
states show us, we can achieve great things when we come together. Food banks
around the country are facing hours long lines as hundreds of thousands of
Americans struggle to put food on the table. Now is the time to step up for
each other.
