When States Require In-person Voting, COVID-2019, or Coronavirus, demonstrates another way things can go Wrong. On Super Tuesday, many States took Precautions to Assure the Safety of Voters visiting the Polls. Some Voters, however, were still Afraid of the Threat and Stayed Home. There are even Examples of Election Staff Not Showing Up Out of Fear of Contracting COVID-2019.

Vote by Mail can Ease All of these Stresses. Voting by Mail Breaks Down Barriers to Voting for Seniors, Working Families, Disabled Americans, and Young Voters. It can even Allow Voters to Avoid Bad Weather, and Offer them a way to Vote without Fear of Contracting COVID-2019.

Additionally, Vote by Mail has been Proven to Encourage Greater participation in our Democracy. States that have Enacted Vote-by-Mail have seen a 15% Higher Median Turnout than Polling-Place-Centric States during the 2018 Primary.

Ron Wyden (D-OR) is introducing a Bill to make that happen if COVID-2019 is causing Disruptions into November or in other Cases of Pandemic or Natural Disaster. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) also introduced a Vote-by-Male Bill.

We must, however, urge that All States Adopt this Measure, even without a Push from Congress.

Several States have already Successfully Enacted Vote-by-Mail including: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and these States are seeing a Higher Voter Turnout as a result.

Vote-by-Mail gives People the Time and Safety to Vote from the Convenience of their Own Home, Saves Taxpayers Money on Election Administration, and are Un-Hackable as the Paper Ballots can be Recounted and Audited by Hand.

It also Should Require States to Set-Up Drop Boxes, Self-Closing Envelopes, and a Tracking System to Verify your Ballot was Received and Counted.
