We've witnessed the GOP Voter Disenfranchisement Tactics in Massachusetts!
People impersonating election officials and falsely informing voters in New Bedford that they need a photo ID to vote … Latino voters in Southbridge systematically challenged at the polls for no other reason than their race … insufficient bilingual ballots and poll worker training in Springfield preventing voters from casting their ballot.
These are all real-life cases of eligible voters wrongfully denied the fundamental right to vote right here in the Commonwealth. And they're just a taste of the onslaught of bullying, misinformation, and sabotage voters may face on Election Day.
We have a plan to fight back -- our nonpartisan election protection program is working to protect the fundamental right to cast a ballot, but your involvement is essential.
Will you volunteer at the polls in Massachusetts and help ensure that no deceitful Election Day tactics go uncaught? You can sign up as a poll worker or a poll monitor in vulnerable communities. Once you do, we'll direct you to all the support, information, and training you will need. Then, on Election Day, we'll connect you with other passionate election protection volunteers. Together, we'll work on the frontlines to head off or diffuse efforts to disenfranchise countless legitimate voters.
These aren't just "dirty tricks," they're crimes that should have severe consequences -- not just for individual voters, but for our democracy itself. And it's up to us to stop them.
Please volunteer to join our trained election protection team in Massachusetts and help protect our democracy.
Sincerely,
Pam Wilmot
