Excerpts: "Inch by inch, mile by mile, we need to get out the Blue vote! There are many, many ways to volunteer to do that, my suggestions are only the tip of the iceberg to help if you’re looking for direction. Readers have sent their own recommendations which I’m sending on to you today. We’re getting close to the end of the timeline for the US mail and will soon be turning full strength to calls, texts and canvassing but there’s still a window for writing. Here are two options: one reader recommends writing letters to swing states for maximum effectiveness. Investigate that at https://votefwd.org/. Another highly touted postcard provider, recommended by two readers, is https://shop.bluewavepostcards.org/?srsltid=AfmBOoomxvfgfjWm_3dXwXR3ZQDw3glTjimt9FrVqQemz7I5guJj_FNw.
Our previous BTRTN tips are down at the bottom of this post. But first, directly below I have copied, virtually verbatim, an email from an activist group par excellence called Buddy Groups... From Buddy Groups: Please vote as early as you can in your state. Republicans are trying to impede Democratic voters wherever they can. So voting early has several pluses:
if your vote is challenged, you have more time to “cure” it
an early vote that isn’t challenged is a solid vote, on the books
Those who are calling to get out the vote don’t waste time calling you but focus where it will count. Because as soon as you vote, your name comes off the call lists.And please send this message to friends in swing states: the states where the vote is likely to be close and will matter for the Electoral College tally.
