Sara and Chandlee White - League of Women Voters of the Piedmont Triad North Carolina

Hello everyone! Happy to see everyone here today! I'm in MD, but TX is my home state!!

will this be available in archived format to share with others?

Hi everyone! I am happy to be apart of the session today. I am with LWVUS and serve as the National Campaign Manager for the People Powered Fair Maps Campaign!

yes! id like to view again or share. I’m at work and doing my best!

This video is on YouTube.

The session is being recorded and can be made available to people!

Sharon Owlett from Williamsburg VA LWV. Powerful video!

Michigan has no-reason absentee and our MISOS sent absentee ballot apps to all 7.7 million registered voters in Michigan. We didn't have the lines.

Williamsburg Area well represented...

How do we catch up the missing voter registrations from this Spring?

Georgia SOS also sent out absentee ballot apps but still had the long lines because people didn't get their ballots in time.

Can I record this to share with our Voter Service/Exec. Committee team in Benicia California?

We know about the right to vote - we need to know HOW to protect the vote, please

WV SOS send out absentee apps to all voters for Primary. Announced yesterday that he would NOT do that for General. WV has restrictive eligibility rules for absentee voting.

Gayle, we will share a recording of this presentation on the League Management website!https://www.lwv.org/league-management/recruitment-engagement/organizing-resources-build-league-power

Same for the Nebraska SOS, but we went to the big counties and they agreed to use CARES money to pay for it. Hope this will put pressure on the SOS to do it statewide.

Sadly, DC faces voter suppression because we have no voice in Congress, no senator or voting congressperson to speak up for us but perhaps more importantly for the purpose of this conversation is we face voter suppression because of the inefficiencies and weakness of our Board of Election.

Need to urge Senators to pass the Heroes Act!

Wisconsin LWV is here

LWVGA is here

LWV-VA won a lawsuit to remove witness requirement for June 23 primary absentee ballot. Filing suit for Nov 3 as well

Hi Wisconsin! LWV Albany County (NY) here. :D

Kentucky Secretary of State is not allowing universal mail in voting, although it was allowed in primary. Also new voter photo ID , when photo ID offices are closed. LWVKY lawsuit pending.

Well done LWV-VA!!

Hi Albany! Another Albany here too!

oh, Kentucky...

Hi Regina :D

Wisc Election Commission will also contact 3M unregistered but eligible voters.

Johnson County Kansas election office mailed pre-populated advance mail-in ballot applications to all registered voters in the county.

Indiana is soooo far behind all the others you mention. exactly WI is my home and I’m so glad they’ll have safer outcomes in voting in place now

Glad to see someone else from our area, Andrea! Can't wait to get some ideas!

JoCo, KS, were the applications for both primary and general?

hi! will this be recorded?

Ellen: Is that done via party committees?

Yes, Josely this is recorded!

Hi Josely! Yes, this is being recorded and will be posted on this webpage: https://www.lwv.org/league-management/recruitment-engagement/organizing-resources-build-league-power

Yes - both primary and general pre-populated applications for Johnson County Kansas.

The Supreme Court decision was a disaster..

Does that include the VRAA.

What was included on the previous slide with US map with some states shown in red?

McConnell has communicated with the LWVKY that voting is a states rights issue., not a federal issue, ooo quite discouraging.

hi, sorry I asked this but

logged off by mistake

will this be recorded?

NY JUST NOW passed AVM! Won't happen till 2023 but can I hear an AMEN?!

Amen!

Hi Josely, this session is being recorded! It will be accessible on this website later: https://www.lwv.org/league-management/recruitment-engagement/organizing-resources-build-league-power

Way to go NY!

So exciting!

thanks!

NextDoor

We are sending electronic information to all places of worship, all civic associations and all condos in our area.

Yay, Andrea! That is great news!

We are placing posters in local stores too.

AMEN, Andrea!

Community-“led” please

do you have messaging information we can use?

For real?"... WooHoo, Andrea!

Should these stories be shared from a candidate’s social media page?

If the candidate collects the story - but not if we collect the story. We must remain non-partisan with parties and candidates.

https://www.votebymailwv.com - nonpartisan forum, sponsored by LWV-WV and LWV-Morgantown/Monongalia County

Is this an official definition of voter suppression--overt barriers? For example, claims that voting by mail is subject to fraud can suppress voting but it is not necessarily targeted to a specific group or groups, just to reduce faith in elections

Yes - the candidate would collect the story and share it.

If people call election protection number, will they get to talk to a human being and get some concrete information about a solution?

Who monitors the 866 number and how will they act on the information received?

@Lisa voting by mail myths do target certain groups if you think about it.

I have volunteered for the Election protection number during primaries, you get a live person that will provide information, or elevate your issue for intervention, whether in field or legal.

I was a poll worker in Georgia during the June 9 primary. I learned firsthand what issues were faced.

Question for Vanessa: Are election officials more likely to operate properly if they know that there will be election observers at every polling station?

I will be a poll worker in August in Southern FL!

@Vanessa Gonzalez - LWVGeorgia would LOVE to do a text-thon with you

What if you cell phone number has a different area code than where you live, are they able to recognize that you are still a constituent? (Does it match by your phone number or just by what your area code is?

@Gayla , that's awesome!!!!

A lot of cell phone users' area code doesn't match where they live.

LWV San Diego is creating a 101 Days of Action list with the intent of sending out a concrete action each day by email and/or social media that people can take, related to voting and advocacy. You can sign up for the list at lwvsandiego.org (a pop-up sign up should appear when you first get there) to see what we are doing and what you might want to do with your local Leagues.

Wow Jennifer!

I recommend that people get involved in Reclaim Our Vote from the Center for Common Ground. It is a non-partisan, phone-banking, post-carding, and text-banking campaign that has many partners including NAACP, Black Voters Matter, etc. Their major goal is to increase turnout among voters of color in these states: TX, AL, GA, M, NC and AZ. Go to http://centerforcommonground.org/main/index.php/campaigns/reclaim-our-vote

Will Power Point slides be made available to us to download?

Can we use this video

Awesome!!

video gave me goose bumps

Yes Reclaim our Vote is great --

amazing video! very impactful!

I enjoyed this beautiful presentation. I look forward to receiving the recording, so that I can transfer several of the ideas.
