Hey. Don’t want to alarm you. But we’re 100 days out from Election Day. It’s fine. We’re good. How do we even measure time anymore?
Like this: About 100 days ago, Donald Trump suggested that coronavirus might be treated by injecting disinfectant into your body at a White House press briefing. Does that feel like a long time ago or a short time ago? Both? Who knows. Whatever time is doing, it’s driving us to November 3.
So we have exactly 100 days to fight back against all the voter suppression, disinformation, and straight up dismissal of COVID Republicans are doing so they can win. That’s why we launched votesaveamerica.com/everylastvote to help make sure every last vote is counted on Election Day, including your own.

That includes ways to:
- Request your vote-by-mail ballot early - The combo of COVID-19 and voter suppression efforts means it is more important than ever for everyone to request their vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot as early as possible, so take 30 seconds to use Vote Save America’s ballot request tool to get your request in now. Don’t have a printer? This tool takes care of that part too. We see you, millennials.
- Donate to the Every Last Vote fund to fight voter disenfranchisement - We are teaming up with PowerPac, a social justice organization that strategically directs financial and human resources to local organizations in our 6 key states, like Souls to the Polls in Wisconsin or Florida Immigration Coalition in the Sunshine State. If you can, chip in to support aggressive, on-the-ground efforts to mobilize Black, brown, indigenous, and other marginalized communities that are routinely victims of targeted voter disenfranchisement efforts.
- Volunteer as a poll worker if you are healthy and able - Over half of the poll workers in the last presidential election were over the age of 60, which happens to be the group in the greatest danger from COVID-19. This is what we in the voting biz call “not ideal.” Power the Polls is an initiative to recruit a new wave of poll workers -- especially among younger, more diverse populations that have not historically filled these roles. In-person polling locations will require up to a million poll workers, and you can sign up now to get trained by Election Day.
- Volunteer with voter protection teams to stop voter suppression - Voter suppression isn’t an accident. It’s the number one strategy to block the vote ahead of November 3rd, particularly in battleground states. Thanks to your support, Fair Fight 2020 was able to hire voter protection teams in 16 states to start early to protect voters’ access to the ballot. Now, those teams need your help, especially if you’re a lawyer or law student (but you don’t have to be!), just sign up to help in your (real or adopted) state and someone will be in touch.
If you do even one of these things today, it will help us all feel a lot better 100 and ONE days from now.
Thanks for doing your part,
The Vote Save America team
