#like there's tons of reasons postal voting might be right for you

[aralintheobsessive]

Democracy Works put together TurboVote, which is a resource to guide people through the registration process. https://turbovote.org/ If you have trouble they're one place to contact as well. There's also Fair Fight Action, based in Georgia, and Native American Voting Rights, for Native Americans who need assistance exercising their right to vote. Once you've registered, if you're worried about actually voting on the day - postal voting might be for you. The number of states where you don't need a reason to apply for postal voting has grown a great deal. Now the majority of US states will allow you to vote via postal ballot - the catch is that you need to know about this and apply to do it beforehand. There used to be more restrictions on who could do this, but it's opened up a lot now. If you have no access to transport, are disabled and can't queue, etc, even the states that require some kind of excuse will mostly accept those and send you a postal ballot.

Buddy, when racist cunts illegally prevented me from registering to vote by just refusing to accept my papers, I PROMISE YOU shitty guilt trip memes about my inability to vote made everything worse.

You know what ACTUALLY helped?

More than every passive aggressive shit for brains on this website telling me I deserve to me racially harassed for not giving Democrats my soul?

A fucking email from a fucking HERBS AND SPICES STORE that unlike you wretched cunts ACTUALLY HAD VOTER REGISTRATION HELPLINES IN IT.

Every time one of you godforsaken freaks tells me to 'get out and vote' like its cutely trivial and didn't take months of desperate phone calls just to register (IF my registration even WORKED THIS TIME).

If you, like me, are struggling with registration or poll access, try contacting your STATE board of elections.

Request that they send you TWO copies of their registration guidelines. Collect any documents listed in them.

Then, contact your LOCAL board. Tell them you would like to register IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE.

Bring your documents and the two copies of the guideline AND a working cell phone.

If you get ANY trouble AT ALL tell the local person you will call the state board to confirm their registration requirements. Be polite, but do not leave. Put the phone on speaker.

Most of the time, the local person who is doing Actual Serious Federal And State Crimes will give up at that point. If not, the person at the state board will generally outrank and overrule the local one.

Make a note of the names of both the local and state official.

Then, and this is the most important part:

CONFIRM YOUR REGISTRATION WAS FILED.

It may take a day or two for your registration to appear.

Unfortunately, if it's been a week, you're going to have to repeat the process.

Take the names you noted previously, and contact the state board again. Report that these people denied you registration on this day, in spite of you providing these documents, then list all the required papers you collected.

The person at the state SHOULD be able to direct you from there, but the process varies hugely by state.

Good luck to you all.

ETA: I was able to vote eventually, BTW. It took far more work than it should have. Physical injuries were sustained. But I did get to vote!!

GSUSA is doing a national service project of Promote the Vote, so if you’re in a troop, check it out here. For the suffrage patches, look here.

And this is going to be my plea for this US election cycle: please vote. Register ASAP and request your absentee/mail-in ballot right away, deadlines are approaching soon. Learn how here.

Not old enough to vote? Tell your parents, older siblings, older friends, etc. 

Why should you vote? Well, the future of many things lies with this election. I won’t get into all the specifics, there are tons of posts about that, but some that are particularly relevant to camp are:

The US Postal Service - how we send camp brochures

J-1 Visas - how international staff are allowed to work at camp

Workplace safety - do you like your OSHA restrictions that keep you safe on the job?

Minimum wage and staff pay - who doesn’t wish we got paid more

Environmental protections - stewardship is huge in the camp community

This is in addition to future legislation and court cases on policing, racial equity, education, protections for LGBTQ+, women, and people with disabilities, healthcare, immigration, and more that I can’t think of.

Anticipated questions below the fold. Disclaimer: my political choices are mine and mine alone, and do not reflect those of Girl Scouts or my council (nonprofits cannot endorse political candidates in order to maintain our status). Please read before sending asks/commenting:

Q: Who will you be voting for?

A: I will be voting for Biden/Harris then Democrat straight down the ballot.

Q: Who should I vote for?

A: Ultimately, it is up to you who you vote for. I highly recommend that, if the above issues matter to you at all, you also vote Democrat. I am very concerned that another Tr*mp term will be devastating to many groups, including ones that I am a part of and care about. The Democrats are a step towards a lot of important goals for things that will make the world a better place.

Q: Why should I vote?

A: Voting is an important way to stay civically engaged and make your voice heard. Elected officials determine laws and their enforcement (think the sheriff) and they are chosen by your vote.

Q: Does my vote really matter? I live in a red state/am only one vote/other reason.

A: I live in a red state, so very far red. I sometimes wish that I hadn’t given up my vote in the swing state I used to live in where the race had a 1% margin. But it’s not just the president we are voting for. You might be a red state, but are you a red precinct? A red county? School district? You might not be, or maybe it’s borderline. Local elections can be decided by just a few votes, and these elections are just as important, if not more.

Also, take the 2000 election as an example. From National Geographic: 

If you ever think that just one vote in a sea of millions cannot make much of a difference, consider some of the closest elections in U.S. history.

In 2000, Al Gore narrowly lost the Electoral College vote to George W. Bush. The election came down to a recount in Florida, where Bush had won the popular vote by such a small margin that it triggered an automatic recount and a Supreme Court case (Bush v. Gore). In the end, Bush won Florida by 0.009 percent of the votes cast in the state, or 537 votes. Had 600 more pro-Gore voters gone to the polls in Florida that November, there may have been an entirely different president from 2000–2008.

Q: How do I register to vote?

A: This varies by state, but Vote.org can help you. You might need some proof that you live in the state.

Q: How do I vote?

You can vote in person at a polling place or you can request an absentee or mail in ballot, then either mail it back or (sometimes) drop it off somewhere. Vote.org can help you request your absentee ballot here. This page also has state by state info on how to vote.
