Minnesotans must now vote in person from today forward.\u00a0 Your vote may not be counted unless you drop off your ballot in person NOW or vote in person.\u00a0 Voter suppression is very real.\u00a0 Make sure your voice is heard!!<\/p>\n
PS to JennR:\u00a0 We try to stay apolitical on our blog, but I guess I’ll tread into those waters very briefly.\u00a0 I am not alone in saying voter suppression is real.\u00a0 It is rampant.<\/p>\n
It is suppression to change rules in midstream.\u00a0 To say that ballots postmarked on election day were to be counted and now may not be counted.\u00a0 It is suppression to throw multiple wrenches into the postal service to slow down mail delivery, on purpose.\u00a0 It is suppression to rail against the validity of our voting process and mail in voting (while doing it yourself) in order to sow doubt in the minds of the electorate about the reliability of the outcome.\u00a0 It is suppression to use the courts to fight against counting votes.\u00a0 It is suppression to limit polling places so people have to wait hours to vote, in a pandemic — talk about a barrier!<\/p>\n
But people are voting, that’s for sure.\u00a0 I hope their votes are counted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
