Yet for the past two years we’ve faced attempts by Republican-led state legislatures to get rid of all the new ways people like to vote. Turns out, all kinds of people loved voting in these new ways.ĭespite a deadly pandemic, we not only had the highest voter turnout of the 21st century with 67% of Americans voting, we also shattered the record of nontraditional voting with 69% of those who voted doing so early - either in-person or by mail. And PEW found the country, for once, was in agreement - the majority of both Biden voters (82%) and Trump voters (62%) cast their ballots before election day. And this year, they didn’t want to go back to the old way. Because of Covid, everyone agreed back in 2020 that we had to make it easy for people to vote safely without contracting the virus. Republicans - aka, the anti-Democracy Party of Trump - hate this. In fact, if you live in Ohio, you can go vote today! In Michigan, we’ve been voting since it was 90 degrees and sweltering in September! In fact, in Michigan and a few other states, you can register to vote right up until what we still call “Election Day!” This is today’s reason why we will win in Roevember: in spite of successful Republican attempts to make it harder to vote - especially for students, the poor, working moms, Black and Brown people - we still have more days and ways now to vote than we did before the pandemic. A Michigan sunrise to enjoy while early voting.
