Don’t let the Trump nonsense on vote by mail fool you.

The effort to suppress the vote will attack ALL forms of voting:

purging: in Ohio, a huge purge of voters took place last year despite a sky-high error rate on the “to be purged” list (govt error, not voter)

1/

intimidation: with a consent decree recently expired, the GOP plans to “challenge” so-called “suspicious” voters at polls across the country

vote by mail: look for a range of efforts to make it harder....changed deadlines, changed forms, complex processes

2/

jamming up in-person polling: in Ohio, already loose talk of “consolidating” polling locations and changing bipartisan laws that enacted built-in measures limiting the ratio of voters/machine

Why would you want more crowding of polls in a pandemic?

Hint: You wouldn’t

Bottom line: efforts by @staceyabrams @fairfightaction @DNC @marceelias and others to protect voting rights have never been more important.

And we need as many volunteers as possible to be poll observers to stop it all.
