Our primary election in New Jersey happened on Tuesday — and thanks to our state's vote-by-mail option, millions of voters had the option to safely cast their ballots by mail as we continue to live through this dangerous pandemic.

But vote-by-mail isn't a nationwide option for all voters. As new confirmed coronavirus cases continue to rise and we quickly move closer to the general election, the U.S. Senate has failed to act to protect voters' health and safety.

That means come November, millions of Americans could be waiting in long lines for hours at a limited number of polling places to cast their ballot, like we saw in states like Wisconsin and Georgia earlier this spring. No one should have to put their health and safety at risk like that in order to participate in our democracy.

To deny voters the option of voting by mail is to suppress the vote in this critical election year, and with so much at stake, we need to do everything in our power to make it as easy as possible for every voter to exercise their most basic Constitutional right.

Time is running out to pass federal vote-by-mail before the 2020 election, so we need to act fast. Will you add your name alongside mine in support of passing a national vote-by-mail option for every voter now?

Thanks for speaking up,

– Cory
