Voting in 2020 is at risk. If you value freedom and democracy, act now, while you still can.

Starting gate question: Are you registered to vote?

Even if you think you’re registered, double check–things may not be what you assume. For example,

1. Voter rolls have been and are still being purged in many states; see here or here .

2. If you moved recently, your polling place is likely to have changed and you may need to register again in your current community. See here and here .

3. If you are not registered yet, get a move on. Deadlines are rapidly approaching for voter registration. Check them out in your state here and now and do it.

Followup question: Do you know how to outfox voter suppression efforts by the power mongers?

As you may have heard, in order to suppress voting by people who aren’t part of the current power structure–particularly poor people and people of color–illegal politically-based efforts are being made to interfere with the popular vote. 

Solution: Fight back by voting early. Mail-in voting (and depositing ballots in official drop boxes) has already begun in some states. Take advantage of these opportunities and vote early—but, please, please, please, not often. Disregard any evil advice to vote twice. (That’s a violation of federal law and another effort at destroying our democratic system.) For more about early voting, see here and here .

The biggest question: Do you want what Trump wants? You know what that is–the death of democracy. If you’re not in the market for authoritarianism and facism, exercise your Constitutional rights.

DEMOCRACY WANTS YOU to do everything you need to do to vote–and have it count!
