Mikes Midterm Tsunami Truth #17
Early Voting, Mail-in Voting, Dropbox Voting These Were Made for Libs, Hard Workers, Book Readers, Artists, Busy Parents, Slackers, and Progressives like us! In other words, The Majority!
This is todays reason why we will win in Roevember: in spite of successful Republican attempts to make it harder to vote especially for students, the poor, working moms, Black and Brown people we still have more days and ways now to vote than we did before the pandemic. In fact, if you live in Ohio, you can go vote today! In Michigan, weve been voting since it was 90 degrees and sweltering in September! In fact, in Michigan and a few other states, you can register to vote right up until what we still call Election Day!
Republicans aka, the anti-Democracy Party of Trump hate this. Because of Covid, everyone agreed back in 2020 that we had to make it easy for people to vote safely without contracting the virus. Turns out, all kinds of people loved voting in these new ways.
Despite a deadly pandemic, we not only had the highest voter turnout of the 21st century with 67% of Americans voting, we also shattered the record of nontraditional voting with 69% of those who voted doing so early either in-person or by mail. And PEW found the country, for once, was in agreement the majority of both Biden voters (82%) and Trump voters (62%) cast their ballots before election day. And this year, they didnt want to go back to the old way.
