We fully support the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act which would help make elections more resilient to emergencies like pandemics.
Bill would guarantee all voters 20 days of #earlyvoting, #VoteByMail, certify voter reg apps submitted up to 21 days prior to EDay.
Today, Sen. @RonWyden and I — along with 24 cosponsors — introduced a bill to ensure every American can #VoteByMail. Because people shouldn't have to choose between casting a ballot and protecting their health.
Call your Senators and urge them to get it passed.
