Yep. So far this is a 100% Dem. backed bill, but I'll still get behind it. In fact, I've already contacted Greg Walden and asked him to get on board with this. I also know the guy who originally got VBM started in Oregon and he's a staunch conservative (and my wife's cousin). This is something that we should all get behind. Contact your Congresscritters and ask them to support this bill.
The Universal Right to Vote By Mail bill, which would guarantee everyone’s right to cast a ballot by mail. Currently, 28 states and territories impose some restrictions on getting an absentee ballot. This bill would eliminate those restrictions and ensure that any voter who wishes to get a mail ballot is able to do so.
• Vote By Mail grants bill, which would provide grants of $2 million to states or $1 million to smaller jurisdictions that want to institute vote by mail.
