Hi John,

Our work to make sure Americans can cast their ballots safely has never been more critical. We need to do more than just protect voting, we need to expand online voter registration, early in-person voting, and vote by mail.

Right now, When We All Vote is pushing hard to amplify the power of safe voting for communities across the country. However, there is a lot of misinformation trying to keep voters from making their voices heard from home and we want to set the record straight.

We need your help to spread the word far and wide that vote by mail is safe, fair, accessible, and secure.

Myth 1: Voting by mail will lead to voter fraud.

Fact: There is no evidence of an increase in voter fraud with vote by mail. For example, in Oregon, over 100 million mail-in ballots have been cast since 2000. [www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/moral-urgency-voting-mail/609928/] Of those, 0.000012% resulted in fraud (that's about a dozen cases).

Myth 2: If I mail my ballot, it won't be counted on time!

Fact: Every vote matters, and every single vote is counted. As long as you fill out your ballot properly and return it by your state's deadline, it will count the same as if you voted in person at the polls.

Myth 3: Vote by mail gives one party an unfair advantage.

Fact: Voting by mail has shown no partisan advantage. Rather, vote by mail has been proven to increase voter turnout regardless of partisanship. [www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/16/universal-vote-by-mail-doesnt-benefit-any-political-party-study-finds/?fbclid=IwAR3b1FUMknxA-kdkp74fiygEHHYNP5Qt1zDmbTkjQq6GC6uRorovE1aln8A]

Increased access to vote by mail right now protects the health of voters and increases voter turnout. And that's why When We All Vote is focused on safe voting for all.

As we continue to work toward more safe and fair elections. We'll need your help. If you haven't already, sign our pledge and let us know you're with us. Add your name here >> [[link removed]]

Thanks for all you do. We're grateful to have you in our corner.
