PFAW Member,
We are now in the most important election year of our lives and exercising
the right to vote is still a struggle for too many voters.
With long lines, limited polling place hours, difficulties getting time
off from work, electronic machines that are vulnerable to hacking, and
voter suppression and intimidation, the barriers to casting ballots are
real -- and getting worse in many parts of the country.
It’s time for the nation to make it easier to vote -- not harder.
Several states have already successfully enacted vote by mail including
Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, California, and Hawaii -- and these
states are seeing a higher voter turnout as a result. Vote by mail states
saw a 15 percent higher median turnout than states that mostly rely on
turnout to polling places during the 2018 primary.

petition and demand that your state government enact vote by mail!>>
All states should require that vote by mail be easily available to all
voters. Voting by mail breaks down barriers to voting for seniors, working
families, disabled Americans and young voters. And it will encourage
greater participation in our democracy. It gives people the time and
safety to vote from the convenience of their own home, and it even saves
taxpayers money on election administration. Paper ballots are unhackable
and can be recounted and audited by hand.
We can include more people in our democracy, and protect our democracy
from those who would threaten it. Make your voice heard in support of
expanding vote by mail to all U.S. states!

Thank you,
