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.
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!
Sign the petition: make vote by mail accessible for all!>>
Thank you,
- Zach, PFAW
