Do something! Vote — our democracy depends on it

Suggestions* from Democracy Docket to counter Trump’s pre-election sabotage of the USPS during Covid:

✅ Vote early in person. Allowed in 41 states, it can avoid crowded or long lines.

✅ Use a ballot drop box. Find out if and where your state or county provides this secure, convenient option for sealed and signed mail ballots. Not enough boxes? Demand more.

✅ Drop your signed and sealed ballot at your own local election office or polling location. This practice is permitted in almost all states; some states allow drop-off at any voting location in your county.

✅ Organize community ballot collection. Many states allow designated organizations, election officials, or family members to collect and submit a voter’s signed and sealed ballot–crucial for high-risk or home-bound voters.
