WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK
,
I hope you all are keeping cool as this summer heat amps up! For me,
this hot Texas weather is a reminder that election season is upon us.
The primaries are winding down, and we are about to be fully engaged in
preparing for the general election of a presidential year. Buckle up!
At True the Vote HQ, we are keeping busy, working on some exciting
things that I hope to share with you in the coming weeks, specifically
with regard to our efforts to be as engaged as possible in protecting
our election security at the polls in November.
I had the pleasure this week of talking with Newsmax's Chris Salcedo
about the unique times we find ourselves in and what it means for our
election process this fall. I hope you'll take a minute to watch the
whole interview

NEWS TO KNOW
1. Biden super PAC launches $24 million vote-by-mail effort in
battleground states
The largest Democratic super PAC is investing $24 million in a new
campaign to encourage Black and Latino voters in key battleground states
to vote by mail in November. Priorities USA Chairman Guy Cecil said the
advertising campaign aims to drive people to the appropriate websites so
that people can request and fill out their absentee ballot forms. The
super PAC, which is spending heavily to elect presumptive Democratic
presidential nominee Joe Biden, will invest the $24 million in six core
battleground states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, North
Carolina, and Arizona.

2. Election Day could turn into "Election Week" with rise in mail
ballots
More officials are conceding that Americans likely won't know the
result of the election on Election Day. The latest is former Homeland
Security Secretary Tom Ridge who this week said: "We need to be talking
about "Election Week," not Election Day. We've seen an unprecedented
request for absentee ballots and it may take a little longer." Ridge is
the co-chair of the new bipartisan group, VoteSafe. This is why True the
Vote highly encourages people to vote in person, on Election Day, it is
by far the most secure way to vote and ensure your vote is counted
rather than lost in the mail!

3. Runoff elections show Texas not quite ready for November's main event
Even in Texas where Attorney General Ken Paxton has stood firm against
expanding absentee voting, there were problems with the vote by mail
process in this week's primary. According to the Texas Tribune, "some
Texans who sought to vote by mail - and submitted their applications
on time - indicated they never received their ballots. Some opted
instead to vote in person. Others went uncounted. It's unknown how
many were affected. Other voters sent in their mail-in ballots only to
have them returned unopened. Some of those reached county elections
offices after a second attempt, while others still appeared lost on
election night. It's also unknown how many were affected."
