Voters should not have to choose between their health and participating in democracy.
As states move quickly to adapt to a new COVID-19 environment, expanding absentee voting and vote by mail must be an option.with RepresentUs, a right-left anti-corruption group, to talk about the benefits of vote by mail.
Our message was clear: voting by mail is a safe, secure, and efficient method of conducting elections. Vote by mail is not a partisan issue. We all want our elections to be fair and to accurately represent the will of the people. In Colorado and Washington, we ensure our elections are secure, fair and accurate. Both our states check ballot signatures against the registry and notify voters of discrepancies and errors. We use voting equipment that is not connected to the internet, we hold post-election audits, and we built a system to stop fraud and prosecute bad actors. We're not afraid to hold wrong-doers accountable, and it makes our entire system stronger.
Today, voting at home is the default in five states: Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Hawaii and Washington. In all other states, most voters have to request an absentee mail ballot. And in 16 of those states, voters must provide an excuse, such as travel or hospitalization, to even receive an absentee ballot.
