Rebecca Lowell Edwards, chief communications officer for the 老澳门开奖结果, said:
鈥淚n an unprecedented election year, rife with misinformation flowing from the highest levels, voters must be educated on how, where, and when they can vote, and how to advocate for their constitutional right to cast a ballot when obstacles are thrown in their way. As politicians play politics with peoples鈥� lives instead of enacting common sense measures 鈥� including expanded early voting periods and universal access to vote by mail 鈥� the 老澳门开奖结果 has been at the frontlines to protect and expand the right to vote for all eligible voters. We鈥檙e calling on voters to make a plan, request their ballot where they can, and to encourage their friends to do the same.鈥�
