Dear PFAW Member,
The coronavirus crisis has shed light on the need to bolster our democracy and protect our elections. We cannot have four more years of Trump and we need to fight to ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot safely in November. Given the public health risks associated with traditional in-person elections, Congress needs to adequately fund and support a national vote-by-mail program.
Sign and send our petition urging the Senate to adequately fund vote by mail!>>
In early April, Wisconsin rejected expanding vote-by-mail and instead held its primary elections in person, putting its voters and poll workers at risk of contracting the virus or staying home and not having their vote counted. This decision had real consequences: 52 people who worked or voted in the election contracted coronavirus.
Even outside of the coronavirus threat, expanding options for voting makes casting ballots more accessible for voters who cannot access the polls during voting hours. Several states have already successfully created effective vote-by-mail programs; Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, California, and Hawaii have seen higher voter turnout since implementing this pro-democracy solution.
Our elections are too important for this to wait.
Thank you for your advocacy. Wishing you and your family health and safety!
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
