WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK
,
This week I had the pleasure of traveling to Midland to see our
president speak to Texas job creators and many of our state and
nation's conservative leaders. His message was inspiring and gives me
hope for the future of our country, in spite of the many challenges that
lie before us. As you all know one of my greatest concerns is preserving
the integrity of our elections - ensuring that every law-abiding
American, no matter his or her beliefs or background, has their right to
vote protected. That right includes the guarantee that his or her vote
COUNTS and is COUNTED. I fear that many Americans won't have that
guarantee this November. President Trump is right to shine a light on
the serious problems with mail-in-voting. He is right that universal
vote by mail is completely different from absentee voting. And he is
right that vote by mail opens numerous doors to election fraud. So what
can be done? How can we respond? True the Vote is taking action,
mobilizing volunteers across the country, training them on how to best
serve. Please join us today, help us ensure a secure, free, and fair
election for all.
Onward,
Catherine

NEWS TO KNOW
**1. New York Board Of Elections Finishes Counting Absentee Ballots**
**...FIVE WEEKS after Election Day**
If anyone wants a sneak peak into what Election Day Month? may look
like, take a look at New York. "More than a month after ballots were
cast in the New York primary, the board of elections just finished
counting all absentee ballots. In some races, those votes were the
deciding factor. Suraj Patel is one of many candidates who waited
anxiously for the results. Ultimately, he was defeated in the 12th
Congressional District. Patel is accepting the outcome but says the
absentee process desperately needs reforms. "We know that nearly 25% of
people who actually went through the trouble of requesting a ballot,
getting it, voting and dropping it in the mail will not have their
ballots counted," he said. Patel has boxes filled with copies of
invalidated absentee ballots. The issues are wide-ranging, from where
the post office stamped the ballot to voters forgetting to sign it. Not
to mention some who said online that they requested an absentee ballot
but never received
it."[link removed]
**2. Postal Service backlog sparks worries that ballot delivery could be
delayed in November**We already know many of the limitations of the US
Postal Service. However, less than 100 days from the election, they are
already admitting a backlog - this is only one reason why we are urging
voters to vote in person on election day. It is the only way to ensure
that your vote is counted. "The new policies have resulted in at least a
two-day delay in scattered parts of the country, even for express mail,
according to multiple postal workers and union leaders. Letter carriers
are manually sorting more mail, adding to the delivery time. Bins of
mail ready for delivery are sitting in post offices because of
scheduling and route changes. And without the ability to work overtime,
workers say the logjam is worsening without an end in sight. As states
look to dramatically expand the use of mail-in ballots this fall, postal
workers across the country said the changes could lead to chaos in
November. "I'm actually terrified to see election season under the new
procedure," said Lori Cash, president of the American Postal Workers
Union (APWU) Local 183 in Western New York."

3. Pennsylvania's mail ballot problems kept tens of thousands from
voting in a pandemic primary
Pennsylvania continues to reflect the overwhelming problems with
expanded vote by mail. "Before May 12, almost 90% of voters who
requested mail ballots ultimately voted, and the vast majority did so by
mail. But many mail ballot applications, almost two out of five, were
processed within three weeks of the election. And for those voters, only
about 76% ended up voting. That's a significant difference: Without
that drop-off, about 92,000 more Pennsylvanians would have voted in the
primary, according to the Inquirer analysis."

4. Poll: More Than Half Of Young People Lack Resources To Vote By Mail
A recent survey shows that
**"more than half of voters under the age of 35 say they don't have the
resources or knowledge they need to vote by mail in November.
The poll was conducted by Global Strategy Group for NextGen America, a
group that is focused primarily on engaging and turning out young
voters."** Data also show that minority
voters all too often get the short end of the stick under a universal
mail in structure - they tend to move more often and may not have their
most updated address in the voter rolls. Never mind that liberals
champion vote by mail as a great equalizer of voting rights. The facts
show that such a claim could not be farther from the truth.
