You found my main.

bernie suspended his campaign because he has more important things to focus on such as dealing with the pandemic

he is still on the ballot and if your state hasn’t had a primary yet you can still vote for him to earn him delegates

there is some cause for concern that everyone reporting that he’s dropped out altogether can affect voter turnout, and we need to counteract this by spreading the word on what’s actually happening.

Generally I only see spiders in the corner of the room up by the ceiling. I’m not super excited that they are there but they aren’t bothering me. I really draw the line when they show up in my bed. No. Thanks. Do you have lots of spiders where you live?

We need to rally the troops! I'm not a huge blog nor do I have a huge following, but if you live in the US and respond with a picture of yourself with an "I voted" sticker, you will be entered into a piece of art from me.

- MUST Respond with a picture

- you DONT HAVE TO FOLLOW ME, but it would be nice :)

- if you cant vote, dont live in the US, or whatever reason, spreading this around with REBLOGS would be helpful and appreciated

- ** WIN either a choice of a custom avatar or full body sketch ***

- If this goes well, I'll make another for the second half of the primaries

- Ends April 30th, 2020

Here’s what you need to do:

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

If you live in the United States, exercising your right to vote can be challenging, especially if you live in the South. This is likely to get worse, because some Voting Rights Act protections were recently struck down.

Things to know: 

If you are in line when the polls close, you have the right to vote. 

Stay in line. Do not leave without voting. 

(If you leave after the polls close, you probably won’t be able to get back in line.)

In most states, you need to register in order to vote:

Most states require you to register in advance. 

(Some states require you to register *months* in advance).

Some states allow same-day registration.

Some states allow same-day registration for presidential elections only.

You can check registration requirements on vote.org. 

Some states require voters to show ID:

Some states require IDs for registration.

Some states require you to show ID every time you vote.

Some states require first-time voters to show ID.

In most states, a lot of different things count as ID. 

(Eg: In some states, you can use a utility bill.)

Know in advance whether your state requires ID, and what kind of ID it requires.

If you have ID, bring it even if you’re not sure it’s required.

voteriders.org (and their hotline 844-338-8743) has good information on voter ID requirements.

Some states allow you to vote early:

If you can vote early, it’s a good idea to do so.

That way, if there’s a problem, you’re more likely to be able to solve it in time to vote.

You have the right to cast a provisional ballot if your eligibility to vote is questioned:

If you’re registered to vote but don’t appear on the polls at your polling place, you have the right to cast a provisional ballot.

If you don’t have ID, or your ID is not accepted, you have the right to cast a provisional ballot.

You may have to do something afterwards, like show ID to the elections office.

That said, it’s better to cast a regular ballot, because provisional ballots are frequently invalidated. 

If your right to vote is challenged, try to get help before casting a provisional ballot. 

http://www.866ourvote.org/issues/provisional-balloting

If your right to vote is challenged, there are people who can help:

The Election Protection Hotline 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)

In major elections, Election Protection often also has in-person legal volunteers at the polls to help people protect their voting rights.

Your state probably has a voting rights organization, and you can probably find it by googling “voting rights [your state]”.

The candidate that you want to vote for may have a voting rights hotline on election day. 

This year’s pokétree is very full! Got jirachi for the top of the tree now too!
