    Mitch McConnell has been blocking $25 billion in USPS funding for 125 days, legislation to restore Voting Rights Act for 285 days & legislation to prevent foreign election interference for 329 days but Senate GOP confirmed 8 more extreme Trump judges in past 3 days

    BREAKING: The Senate has now confirmed EIGHT of Trump’s district court nominees in the past three days. Lifetime appointments to the federal bench. Understand this: In ALL of 2016, McConnell only allowed votes on 8 of Obama’s district court picks. Trump just got 8 in three days.

    After public pressure University of Georgia announces there will be early voting site on campus. Every college campus should have this. If teams can play football, students should be able to vote

    UGA was pleased this morning to offer to Athens-Clarke County and the Georgia Secretary of State’s office the use of Stegeman Coliseum as a site for early voting. We look forward to working with state and local election officials to facilitate on-campus voting in this indoor venue, which is large enough to support safe social distancing.

    This statement by justifying playing college football but not having early voting location on campus is outrageous. There’s a simple solution: make the football stadium a polling site

    Mitch McConnell has been blocking $25 billion in USPS funding for 124 days, legislation to restore Voting Rights Act for 284 days & legislation to prevent foreign election interference for 328 days but confirmed six more extreme Trump judges in 30 hours

    BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed six of Trump’s judicial nominees in the past 30 hours. These are lifetime appointments that McConnell’s pushing through instead of the HEROES Act & other crucial legislation. Every news program should be covering this tonight.

    University of Georgia playing college football this fall but won’t have an early voting site on campus. America’s priorities totally backwards right now

    We are deeply saddened to announce that there will be no on-campus early voting location for the 2020 Presidential Election. However, students registered to vote in Athens can still vote early at the board of elections downtown starting October 12!

    This is a big deal for voting in PA. State can no longer reject mail ballots solely for mismatched signatures. 1000s of ballots rejected in primaries for this reason

    HARRISBURG, Pa. () _ Amid concerns that thousands of mail-in ballots will be discarded in the election over technicalities, state officials say counties can't reject a ballot because an election official believes the signature doesn't match the signature in the voter’s file.

    Big news for voting rights in Ohio: court rules secretary of state cannot restrict counties from adding more drop boxes for mail voting. Before this there was only 1 drop box allowed per county

    BREAKING: Court rules that Ohio's Sec of State "acted arbitrarily in directing “Boards of elections are prohibited from installing a box at any other location other than the board of elections.” [He] lacked a legitimate basis in evidence...It was unreasonable and unlawful."
