LWV STATEMENT ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND VOTING MACHINES

The League of Women Voters CEO, Celina Stewart, Esq., issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s vow to eliminate mail-in ballots and voting machines:  “Free, fair, and accessible elections are the cornerstone of a healthy democracy. President Trump’s call to eliminate vote-by-mail is a direct attack on Americans’ freedom to vote. Vote-by-mail is secure, accurate, and trusted by millions of voters — including older adults, military members, rural communities, tribal communities, voters of color, and voters with disabilities. Vote-by-mail has proven to expand voter participation in recent elections.”  Read the full press release here.
