Why Early Voting is Critical

Early voting makes it harder to sabotage the election.
Early voting inspires more voters! A large early turnout demonstrates unmistakable public determination to participate.
Early voting focuses GOTV resources on a smaller pool of voters. Early voters are removed from turnout lists, so campaigns and organizers can concentrate voting reminders, troubleshooting, legal assistance, and rides where they are still needed.
Early voting provides early warning of systemic problems. Reports of missing ballots, registration errors, or malfunctioning vote centers can emerge while officials, lawyers, and organizers still have time to respond.
Early voting thwarts postal service problems. If you mail your ballot early, postmarks and mail delivery delays are not an issue. This is important if postal service is slowed, disrupted, or interfered with.
Early voting avoids the disruptions that are more likely to happen closer to – and on – Election Day. Polling-place closures, voter intimidation, and extremely long lines won’t keep you from casting your vote.
Early voting allows time to correct registration and ballot problems. If you have been removed from the rolls you have time to re-register and vote. An early voter can track the ballot and fix a missing or disputed signature so that you have time for a second attempt. If a ballot never arrives, is damaged, or is rejected, you still have time to vote in person or get a replacement ballot.
Early voting shrinks the post-election uncertainty that saboteurs can exploit. The more votes that are received and processed early, the harder it is to use a prolonged count to spread claims that legitimate late-counted ballots are fraudulent.
Early voting ensures that you will be able to cast your vote on a day and time that works for you. Consider that you may end up feeling under the weather, obtain an injury, or have transportation issues on the day of the election.

TOGETHER, WE WILL DRIVE THE LARGEST EARLY VOTE IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC!
