Team,
COVID-19 has changed so much about the way we live our lives. It’s even changing one of the most fundamental institutions in this country -- our elections. The pandemic means that voting in person could put voters and poll workers at high risk of spreading or catching a deadly virus.
That’s why I’m advocating for the next best option: universal vote-by-mail. If you agree that ALL voters should have access to a vote-by-mail option this year, please join me by signing on to this petition now! >>
In Wisconsin, we saw the terrible consequences of unclear last-minute changes to voting systems. Many voters didn’t receive their ballots in the mail in time and were forced to choose between exercising their democratic rights and protecting their health -- which is simply unacceptable.
It's clear, as we face a crisis of global proportions, we must protect the right to vote by moving to a national vote-by-mail system. Because in this nation, no one should have to choose between their ballot and their health. Add your name to my petition today to ensure every voter has access to the ballot box and can make their voice heard on Election Day!
Thank you for your support and, please, stay safe!
