Time Range For Action Alert:
Aug 19 2020 to Aug 31 2020The postal service is essential to our democracy. This year more Americans will use the postal service to receive and cast their ballot because of COVID-19. Delivering ballots is just ONE of the essential functions the post office plays – especially while on the frontlines of a pandemic. Undermining the postal service’s ability to do its work is a serious blow to our democracy. Processing absentee ballots is nothing new for the postal service. For decades, they have processed hundreds of millions of absentee ballots from overseas voters and service members, and support five states with all mail-in elections every year. Not every voter will choose to vote by mail, but every voter should have the option to do so and trust that their ballot will be received on time.
Voters should not be forced to choose between their health and their fundamental right to vote. Contact your Member of Congress and tell them why we need to protect and fully fund the U.S. Postal Service.
