** Know Your Rights
------------------------------------------------------------
* You’re eligible to vote in the 2020 presidential election if you meet three criteria: Over 18, registered to vote, a resident of your state.
* Note: residency does not mean “permanent address.” Homeless or between homes, you may still meet residency requirements ([link removed]) .
* If the polls close while you’re still in line, stay put—you have the right to vote.
* Not on the register? Voters are entitled to a provisional ballot ([link removed]) - also known as "challenge ballots" or "affidavit ballots" - even if they aren’t in the poll book.
* Voter accessibility laws ensure that people with disabilities or language barriers are able to vote. Contact your state or local election office ([link removed]) to find out what accommodations to expect at your polling place.
* Problems? Pushback? Something just doesn't feel right? Contact the ACLU's Election Protection Hotline ([link removed]) for help and info.
* Don't give up until your vote is counted!

** RELAX
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Beyond offering a break from the constant deluge of politics, political ads, and "LAST CHANCE TO DONATE!" emails and texts, music truly does have healing powers that can help you relax, ground you, and restore your perspective.
We're putting together a playlist of songs ([link removed]) for and inspired by the need for calmness this Election Eve, Election Day, and during the Ballot Count.
We'll be updating the playlist as you suggest songs.
Find the playlist and add your musical xanax here. ([link removed])

** And, in the End...
------------------------------------------------------------
November 3rd isn't just about the ballot box, it's also National Sandwich Day and World Jellyfish Day. Join me in taking a break as I try to combine the two to create a Peanut Butter and Jellyfish Sandwich...
Huh. Awful.
Thanks for participating in democracy, all,
