John, Republicans know that in many many elections across
America they can't win without voter suppression.

Sometimes they're obvious about it, removing hundreds of thousands of
voters from the registration rolls for technicalities or even for no
reason at all. Sometimes they're sneaky about it, claiming they're
fighting fraud or saving money.

One of the biggest tools for voter suppression is done by simply limiting
access to the in-person ballot box, and this strategy impacts students and
communities of color the most.

Sometimes it's the small number of nearby polling locations or the lack of
voting machines that causes millions of Americans to wait in line for 4
hours or more. Sometimes it’s voter intimidation, strict voter ID laws or
poorly trained poll workers that drive voters away or force the use of
provisional ballots that often go uncounted. Often it’s all of the above.

The good news is there’s a proven way to stop these kinds of voter
suppression in its tracks. Let any American, no matter where they live, no
matter what the reason, vote from the comfort of their own home.

Listen, when it comes down to it, Vote-At-Home is a no-brainer.

For one thing, it costs less. Orange County California expects to save $29
million in 2020 now that they’ve moved to allow Americans to Vote-At-Home.
The Pew Research Center report on the cost of Colorado’s Vote-At-Home
system in 2014 showed a $6 savings per voter per election.

Vote-At-Home guarantees a paper record of every vote. That’s right, you
can’t mail in your Vote-At-Home ballot with creating a verifiable paper
trail.

Significantly more Americans vote. In states that have Vote-At-Home, voter
turnout was 10 percentage points higher, in the 2016 general election,
then states that didn’t. Considering that Donald Trump won 10 states by
less than 10%, including the pivotal states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Pennsylvania, and that voter suppression disproportionately impacts
college students and people of color who tend to vote for Democrats, it’s
not hard to imagine how different the world might be today if Vote-At-Home
had already been implemented nationwide.

There are dozens of reasons to expand access to voting with Vote-At-Home
and not one good reason against it.

all Americans by calling on your elected leaders to pass Vote-At-Home. Add
your name now!

Oh, and did I mention we can pass Vote-At-Home locally in your county or
state without the help of Congress? It’s true. We can. That’s why, since
2000, more than a quarter of a billion votes have been cast via ballots
delivered directly to the voter because some states like Washington,
Oregon and Colorado have already passed Vote-At-Home.

It’s safe. It’s secure. And it stops many forms of voter suppression in
its tracks.

Together, we're creating a ground swell of grassroots support to pass
Vote-At-Home in communities nationwide.
