What is Voter Protection?
Voter Protection encompasses a wide range of actions designed to ensure that voters are able to cast their ballots, and that those ballots are counted. Republicans have been pursuing a decades-long, multi-prong, strikingly anti-democratic effort to suppress the votes of likely-Democratic citizens. We must do what we can to safeguard our voting rights.
Actions may include:
- Ballot chasing: helping voters get their absentee or mail-in ballots submitted
- Ballot curing: helping voters fix mistakes with rejected absentee or mail-in ballots
- Staffing voter protection hotlines
- Recruiting poll watchers
- Ensuring that eligible voters remain on the voter rolls
Legal professionals are particularly useful, since some issues require legal interpretation, but we welcome all volunteers willing to dedicate quality time to this critical difference-maker.
What would I be doing?
Depending on your preferences, qualifications, and skills, you might be performing any of the actions above. Most of these can be performed from home: making phone calls; sending emails or text messages; doing online research or data management.
What opportunities are available
We are partnering with Democrats on the ground in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to support voter protection.
- Support PA Dems – Pennsylvania is perhaps the most critical battleground in the country. If Kamala Harris wins PA, she has a 93.1% chance of winning the election. You can help ensure that votes are counted by signing up with the PA Dems.
- Support WisDems – Similarly, Wisconsin is often referred to as the breaking point state—as goes Wisconsin, so goes the country. You can make sure every voter has their vote count and have their voice be heard by signing up with the WisDems.
