@T3Bracketology @GANNON_MBB @GannonU @GUKnights My hometown !!!

Congrats to Gannon University (@GANNON_MBB) in Erie, PA for winning the Men’s DII Basketball National Title! Heck of a season, dominant title game. Sweet gymnasium & campus too right by a great lake!

.@SenWyden, @RepDexterOR, and I have a message for Trump and MAGA extremists trying to end vote by mail: HELL NO!

For nearly a decade, false claims about mailed-out ballots have been pushed. These lies are a strategy to sow doubt and weaken democratic participation. Read our ED’s op-ed dismantling myths: thenation.com/article/archiv…

Recent attacks on Vote at Home are not about security, they’re about control. Vote at Home is safe, secure, and under threat.

From Utah to Arizona and Michigan, voters choose to vote from home and it works. Efforts to eliminate it ignore the facts and overstep federal authority. We must protect this essential right.

Vote at Home is secure, proven, and trusted by 40M+ Americans. Now it’s under attack by those who want to limit your freedom to vote. We’re fighting back.

Today marks 60 years since the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. From poll taxes to literacy tests, voting was weaponized. Let’s continue to push for inclusive voting reforms.

The consequences of low-turnout elections are real. Research from the National Vote at Home Institute found that roughly 90% of partisan offices are now effectively decided in low-turnout primaries. Read: ydr.com/story/opinion/…

“This Executive Order is not just about ballot deadlines. It’s an unprecedented power grab,” said @RepBSW, NVAHI executive director. “Thousands who follow the rules could be silenced. That’s not how democracy works.” Read the full statement: voteathome.org/national-vote-…

🗳️: Don't listen to us, listen to Secretary Fontes.

A new report from @voteathome found that in the 2024 primary elections, Universal Vote at Home states (states where every active registered voter is automatically delivered a ballot) had nearly double the turnout rate of non-Vote at Home states. More here: voteathome.org/new-report-on-…

@knarayan_ Never gets old. Or untrue.

#orleg take no one asked for: too many task forces

@logangilles See: hummus

Garbanzo beans are an underrated bean

Today, I'm introducing a bill to establish a national right to vote by mail. All eligible voters should be able to participate in our elections, including folks who can’t make it to the polls due to age, illness, disability, work obligations, or any other reason. (1/3)

From @electionline: During the General Election, USPS processed more than 99 million ballots. On average, Ballot Mail sent from voters to election officials were delivered within one day. electionline.org/electionline-w…

@logangilles @Taniel As did Oregon Senate dems

I want to thank the 640,000 @USPS employees who have been delivering official election mail for American voters in every community across the nation. They too serve on the frontlines in support of our representative democracy. 🇺🇸 #ElectionDay #election2024
