Dear Friend,
On National Voter Registration Day – today! – we want to remind you about
the 2020 Census. After the Census, every state in the union had to go
through a redistricting process,^1 which has changed a lot of things for a
lot of voters… including you?
Are you SURE you are registered and know what to do to vote?

Here’s something very typical that just happened to me: I learned I was
redistricted. After decades of being in the same voting district and
voting at the exact same polling location, the change was totally
unexpected, and I was caught by surprise.
If you’ve been redistricted too, it means you are now being represented by
different elected officials at the state and local levels. It could mean
that where you vote has changed. Because voter registration lists need to
be updated to reflect new districts, there’s also a higher risk that your
voter registration has fallen through the cracks and has been “lost.” All
this means that in November, if you show up to vote at your polling place
the way you always have on Election Day, you could be at the wrong place,
they may not be able to find your voter registration, or both. 😮😖😡

And if there’s ever been a time for people to be paranoid about their
ability to vote, it’s now. Did you know that the Brennan Center is
actively tracking 97 active lawsuits in 26 states related to measures that
would impede voters’ ability to cast their ballots and have them
counted?^2 TWENTY-SIX STATES! And even if you are not in one of those
states, just because there’s no law suit doesn’t mean there aren’t new
obstacles in the way of your ability to vote.
With so many active lawsuits about attempts to take away voting rights
across so many states, a little paranoia is not unwarranted!

The coming election is too important. Please forward this message to
everyone you know to ask if they too are sure they are registered and
ready to vote on or before Election Day, November 8, 2022.
In solidarity, and with passion and love for our elections and democracy,
