Vote By Mail

Voting by mail can be convenient, but you have to PLAN AHEAD. You must register to vote before you can vote by mail. Generally, voting by mail is done early, before Election Day. Some states, such as Oregon, conduct elections primarily by mail. But in most states, you have to request an absentee ballot, sometimes up to three months before Election Day. In other states you can only vote by mail under special circumstances, such as an illness or an overseas assignment which precludes voting in person. Check the rules in your state below:

Colorado Kansas Montana Oklahoma Virginia

The poll released today covers How to Talk About the Economy with the Rising American Electorate  (RAE).

 

From the report: "RAE voters are an indispensible part of the progressive base in this country.  Political outcomes are driven both by their electoral choices and their relative participation in this Democracy.  The 2010 election cycle saw a significant withdrawal from the Democrats among some members of the RAE, mostly because the economic change they voted for in 2008 was slow in coming and progressive messaging often failed to reflect their economic reality.  Progressives’ success depends in large measure on correcting this mistake in 2012."
