Dear @Sdwight35 & @RoyceDuplessis :
My husband & I are at risk for #COVID19, but we are <65. We'd like to @LAVoteByMail .
When will the public get to see the emergency plan by @Louisiana_sos & @LouisianaGov ?
I'd love to go to public meeting, but CAN'T! That's the whole POINT! https://twitter.com/marypatriciala/status/1248744889954828288

It is time for LA to join the 21st century! Over 30 states have expanded #VoteByMail! Recently so have our southern neighbors! In March, Georgia sent a postcard to its 6.9 million active voters urging them to VBM. https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/georgia-mail-absentee-ballot-request-forms-all-active-voters/s1ZcJ57g8qqIwyG6LNWfIM/
In early April, Texas sent guidance to its county election officials to allow its 15 million registered voters to request a Vote By Mail ballot if concerned about coronavirus. #VoteByMail https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/Texas-opens-door-to-more-mail-in-voting-in-2020-15176866.php
Las week FL county election officials asked the gov for help in expanding the number of VBM ballots (already 1/3 of 14M voters VBM) & begin early voting earlier for both its Aug primary & gen in Nov. https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2020/04/07/florida-election-officials-sound-the-alarm-ahead-of-november-1273502
If GA, TX & FL can do VBM for much larger populations, why can't LA? If we don't, it will be yet another metric in which we lag behind our neighbors. YOU can change that!
COVID will be a threat until a vaccine is developed! Plan now for primary & general election in Nov!
