Received this text yesterday (as did my husband). Deceptive much? Will likely affect low-info Democratic/liberal voters most. No org/name claiming credit for this, but I'd love to know! (Added some fact-checking to prevent more disinfo)

"Nearly 97% of voting-age American citizens now live in states that offer the option to vote before Election Day"
The Center for Election Innovation and Research@ElectionInnov22 Mar 2024
"For voters who have been told there are powerful forces trying to prevent them from voting, or may have experienced that in the past, it’s not their fault for thinking that voting might be harder than it is. Honestly, they’re why we did this report." npr.org/2024/03/19/123864604…

New data shows it's gotten easier to vote in the U.S. since 2000

Nearly 97% of voting-age U.S. citizens now live in a state with some form of early voting, according to a new report.

Thanks to all who helped put on a fantastic #ESRA2023! I had a great time discussing how the end of VRA preclearance affects party outreach. @jessesplin

Relying on millions of voters - already overburdened by the pandemic & major economic stresses (let alone every other aspect of their personal lives) - to save our democracy over & over again, only for each to be only a temporary fix is really not that. And it's not sustainable.

I heard a frustrated Democrat on the radio say, "We voted in 2020." That's like saying, "I fed the baby yesterday."

Btw: I strongly recommend everyone watch Winter on Fire on Netflix. It’s an incredible documentary about the 2014 conflict. It will give you amazing insight into what the fighting in that city is going to look like in the coming days. netflix.com/title/80031666
