Jessica, I am so glad you're doing this. Here's a tip your readers may appreciate:
To help Kamala win, we need to encourage millions of moderate and undecided people to register and vote Blue. Some voters in battleground states have had their registrations illegally cancelled– extremists are submitting fake death certificates! So even voters who have registered/voted in the past now need to check their status.
Registration deadlines vary: in Georgia it’s Oct. 7, but check your state. I don’t text or phone bank because these days, so few people answer a phone number they don’t recognize – it’s a waste of time. So I’m sending postcards to voters in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina. Postcards with the voterizer.org/ QR code lets people quickly learn if they’re (still) registered, they can easily register if needed, and request an absentee/mail-in ballot. Absentee voting is important because many people won’t feel safe going to vote in person, with the unrest we are bracing for.
Postcarding purists entirely hand-write each card for a personal touch. But how many cards can you send that way? If you order pre-printed cards you can add a sentence to personalize the card. You can download addresses by state - it comes in an Excel file, you can do a mail merge and print stick-on labels at home. Doing it this way enables me to mail hundreds of postcards!
If you buy cards that don’t have the printed voterizer QR code, you can print it yourself on a sticky label and affix it to the card. Or write this web address - “Can I vote?” https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote
You can buy pre-printed cards from either of the following:
I love this!! I will definitely be including your suggestion of adding the QR code in future State newsletters- thanks for the great idea and for everything you're doing!
"In Pennsylvania, another issue over the status of third-party candidates has also slowed election workers’ ability to prepare mail ballots, said Forrest Lehman, the director of elections in Lycoming County.
“We can’t do a thing. We need to know exactly who is on and not on the ballot,” Lehman said. “If you work too far ahead, you’ll just end up crying into your beer later when the ballot changes.”
