(#4978) In person absentee voting starts in 4 days in Minnesota and South Dakota.

      That's right, you can begin early voting in Minnesota and South Dakota in 4 days with in person absentee voting. What is also happening today is you can pick up an absentee ballot in Pennsylvania and start filling it out and mailing back. In 5 days you can start voting in Vermont as well as in Virginia and Wyoming. The election is here folks so do not wait if you are in a state that offers early voting. There can be no excuse for not voting when all this time is afforded us to vote. This election is too important not to do our civic duty and either register now and then vote, or vote if you are registered.
     The republican party is counting on our voters to shrug off voting this cycle because it isn't a presidential election year. That is there strategy, for people not to vote. Our strategy is to increase our House and Senate seats so that at minimum we negate the offensive filibuster rule and begin to pass far reaching legislation that can have a major impact on our society. We also need to vote straight democratic ticket in our respective states. The republican party has been steam rolling state legislatures into their own private puppets and that has to stop. No more can we have republicans controlling all the state wide elected positions and then pass egregious laws that offend and undermine democracy!
     To reiterate, Pennsylvanians can pick up their absentee ballots today, fill them out and send them back in. On Friday, both Minnesota, and South Dakota can start filling out and sending in their absentee ballots. The very next day, Saturday, Vermont, Virginia, and Wyoming will also begin to fill out and send in their absentee ballots. The election is here now so over the next 50 days until November 8th, make sure you know when and how to vote in your state. I will post a link to early voting here, https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/. Remember to vote for all democrats on your ballot. We cannot give any republican a single vote of ours because all they do with our votes is use it against us like a deadly weapon!
