Everything You Need to Vote

https://www.vote.org/

If you’ve already voted (I dropped off my ballot today!) consider volunteering in your community to help other people get it done!

Locally, we have ranked choice ballots for the first time and… well… it’s a LOT. Like a LOT a lot.

You can even be a poll worker!

Don’t let your dreams be dreams! DO IT!

    I waited 30 mins in line yesterday to vote early and brought a first time voter with me. I plan on hauling more people on Thursday, including another first time voter who I peer pressured into voting by offering a free lunch.

        Sadly no, I’m in heavily gerrymandered Texas. I hope for the day when we swing purple.

          The senate race is rather close in Texas, there’s a real chance to oust cruz. If we’re really lucky maybe flip blue for president too this cycle or be close enough that republicans have to pay attention and play defence next cycle

          I think Texas might be closer than people realize. Though I know better than to get optimistic.

            I remember Beto also having a real chance. Then reality hit me in the face like a ton of bricks.

              Every election is an independent event. The results of that election have no bearing on this.
