My grandfather was forced to take literacy tests just to cast a ballot
SHARING AS A REMINDER THAT JIM CROW AS A METHOD OF PREVENTING BLACKS FROM VOTING WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO....A POLL TAX PREVENTED MANY FROM VOTING.... WE'VE COME TOO FAR TO ALLOW TRUMP TO DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS - A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT HE LACKS THAT WILL BE DEFEATED IN THE COURTS! MAIL-IN VOTING EXPANDS VOTER PARTICIPATION - THAT'S WHAT WE WANT! THERE ARE NUMEROUS REASONS WHY MAIL-IN BALLOTS ARE NECESSARY - WE VOTED BY MAIL WHEN LIVING OVERSEAS! MANY PEOPLE TRAVEL AND ARE OUT OF TOWN ON ELECTION DAY....MANY ARE DISABLED OR LACK TRANSPORTATION - IT'S NOT FOR US TO REGULATE -- EVERY ELIGIBLE VOTER SHOULD HAVE THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE! I want to talk to you about Trump’s attack on the right to vote. This is important to me — and what’s happening right now matters more than ever. But before I continue, can you chip in today to help us protect access to the ballot and push back against efforts to restrict the right to vote?...
