What the expect & how to prepare
In 2016, there was major flaws with in-person voting in states like Arizona. This election is exactly the same, with states like Texas and California having people in line waiting past midnight LONG after polls were supposed to close. This is blatant voter suppression and is meant to discourage you from voting. If you don’t have mail-in ballot in your state MAKE SURE to prepare for the worst: wear comfortable clothes, bring water, bring snacks, and get ready for whatever fuckery they might try to pull so bring an extra ID.
If you work on the day of your primary or caucus HERE IS A WEBSITE that allows you to check your state’s laws on time-off voting. This will tell you info on the following:
- How long your job is required to give you?
- What exceptions there might be?
- Whether or not it’s paid time off.
- If you have to give advance notice.
- Do you need to show your employer proof of voting?
How to volunteer
You can also phone bank, text bank, or canvas for Bernie. Even if you’re in a state that already voted you can still do all these things! You ARE allowed to canvas out of your home state. Check your area, there are events happening everywhere or you can host your own. ALSO!!! volunteer as a poll worker if you can
AND!! if you’re fluent in multiple languages you can really help to get the vote out in communities that often get overlooked by campaigns.
This is the current delegate count BTW:
And you can expect Bloomberg. Buttigieg, Klobuchar to pledge the few delegates they have to Biden, and who tf knows what Warren is doing at this point so GO OUT AND VOTE
If you are only 17 and want to vote for Bernie in the primary you might still have a chance!! If you will be 18 by the general election (Nov. 3, 2020) then you can still vote in the following states:
- Idaho, Mississippi, and Washington allows 17 year olds to vote in their March 10th primary
- Illinois and Ohio allows 17 year olds to vote in their March 17th primary
- Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming allows 17 year olds to vote in their April 4th primary
- Connecticut, Delaware, and Maryland allows 17 year olds to vote in their April 28th primary
- Kansas allows 17 year olds to vote in their May 2nd primary
- Indiana allows 17 year olds to vote in their May 5th primary
- Nebraska and West Virginia allows 17 year olds to vote in their May 12th primary
- Kentucky allows 17 year olds to vote in their May 19th primary
- New Mexico allows 17 year olds to vote in their June 2nd primary
