If we’re going to carry forward as a democracy and fight the coronavirus, America needs to move to immediate, national vote-by-mail through the November elections.
Americans shouldn’t have to choose between exercising our constitutional right to vote and putting our health at risk.
This is critical for vulnerable populations – seniors, Americans with compromised immune systems, people without health care – who deserve a voice and a vote, no matter what. It’s also critical for folks on the front lines – doctors, nurses, biomedical researchers – who shouldn’t be asked to leave work to stand in line at polling places.
Congress should give all Americans the option to vote by mail – and help states with the costs – if this pandemic continues to spread as it is expected to.
Let’s get to work and get this done.
