Democracy is on the ballot. Get involved!

It is vital that us regular Americans become involved in the election. Never has so much been at stake: Democracy is on the ballot, and we need to make sure Democracy wins.

[ Spare me the lecture… skip to the meat! ]

Democrats lost the House by just 6,675 votes in 2022. That’s field margins—fractions of a percentage point—in just a handful of competitive races. And Democrats only need to net five seats to regain the majority next year.

We absolutely must NOT sit out on the sidelines AGAIN thinking that there is no way Trump can win. I for one am working hard to register new voters and get people to the polls. I hope other will join me.

It means recruiting new voters and getting irregular voters to the polls. Make sure everyone you know is registered to vote and committed to actually voting for pro-democracy candidates. Don’t forget that in many states 16 & 17 year olds can preregister to vote:

Irregular voters need to make sure they haven’t been purged from the rolls and are registered at the correct address. I recommend vote411.org for all things voting related. Educate yourself about any new voter laws passed after the 2020 election (https://www.vote411.org/voting-rules).
