I’m writing this with less than a week before the November 3, 2020 election. If you haven’t voted, now is the time to vote. It’s too late to mail in your ballot in most states, especially with a Republican party and delegitimized Supreme Court blocking legal mail-in votes from being counted in some states. Trump’s billionaire crony now runs the post office and has intentionally slowed down delivery service to block your mail-in votes. Vote now. And vote in person.

Each state has their own deadlines and rules for voting. While it’s too late to register in most states, some do allow registration right up to election day. Check your state.

If you received a mail-in ballot, bring it to a drop off box or to the election district main office (which may not be your usual voting location). Check your state.

Most states allow early voting in person. If you have early voting, do it.

If you can’t drop off a mail-in ballot or vote early in person, plan to vote on election day. It’s critical that everyone votes in this election. The Republican party is trying desperately to block people from voting. It is your right to vote. Don’t let anyone stop you.

So again, vote in person. It’s too late in most states to get your mail-in ballot to the election office in time to be counted and Trump’s delegitimized Supreme Court is planning to void legal ballots. Don’t let Republicans steal the election. Vote.

Vote!

Vote in person.

Vote early if you can.

Plan to vote on election day. Bring water and snacks. Arrange for friends and family to vote with you. Arrange car pools to the voting location.

Vote!

This election is THE most critical election of your lifetime.
