The coronavirus has made one thing abundantly clear: We need to expand voting by mail -- and we need to do it now.

Sign our petition to support expanding voting by mail nationwide >>

With stay-at-home orders and social-distancing requirements in place, in-person voting in the upcoming elections poses a real threat to our public health.

I’m proud that Maryland has taken the important and necessary steps to postpone our primary election and to give all voters the option to vote by mail to protect their health and prevent further spread of the coronavirus.

Now, we need to expand vote-by-mail access across the country to ensure that all Americans can safely exercise their right to vote without risking their health and safety. If you agree, please add your name today.

Our country was founded on its democratic principles. It’s paramount that we defend those values and the integrity of all votes.

Please add your name to mine and call for expanded vote-by-mail efforts across the country before the November election.

Your friend,

Dutch
