Why You Should Vote EARLY
Conservatives love to exercise their right to vote. There’s nothing like that patriotic feeling that sweeps over you as you leave the polling booth and cast your vote on election day. It is truly an American moment.
But you can still do your civic duty by voting early. Did you know that as of February of this year, 47 states and the District of Columbia permitted no excuse early voting in some form. The length of early voting periods ranges from 3 to 46 days by state, with the average being 20 days.
Here’s why it’s important to vote EARLY:
- You’ll experience shorter lines and better poll worker performance
- It allows election officials to correct registration errors and fix voting system glitches earlier.
- Early voting provides flexibility to voters who can’t take time off during the week to vote.
- You also avoid potentially bad weather on election day and some polling has shown that early voting enjoys popular support.
But here is perhaps the greatest reason to vote early…
Democrats have a history of turning out their vote early and banking sizable vote tallies for their candidates.
Case in point, in 2022 in Pennsylvania, U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman had 1 million votes banked before his opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz got out of bed on the morning of the election. In the end, it was too much for Dr. Oz to overcome and he lost the election.
You may rest assured that Democrats will be out in full force early in the General Election, which makes it imperative that we take advantage of early voting days in our states and bank as many votes for our candidates as possible.
VOTE EARLY! And spread the word!

Volunteer as a Poll Worker
Poll workers are a crucial part of the democratic process and play a vital role in helping citizens cast their ballots. Amid continuing concerns about election integrity, poll workers are set to have an especially large impact this fall. Election law requires both Republicans and Democrats to work the polls in order to ensure an unbiased and bipartisan process and many jurisdictions continue to face shortfalls of poll workers.
Serving as a poll worker is an easy way to get involved in the community and help keep the wheels of democracy turning. Any eligible voter who is interested can sign up using the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s user-friendly Poll Worker Recruitment Lookup Tool to find their local precinct and sign up!

Quote of the Week
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
― Harry S. Truman, Special Message to Congress on the Internal Security of the United States, August 8, 1950
