Vote by mail is effective and secure (Opinion)

We sponsored House Bill 4742 in the 2020 legislative session, a bill that would transition West Virginia to a vote-by-mail system.  We urge Gov. Justice to call the Legislature into special session to pass a vote-by-mail bill in time for the November election.

Vote by mail: More voters, less cost!

For many years I opposed VBM [Vote By Mail]. I even refuse to vote early, unless I'm going to be out of town on election day.  I like the idea of going to my precinct on election day.

​

But I've become a believer in VBM.  In this past session of the Legislature I co-sponsored a bill to let counties have the option of using VBM.

Nothing should be more important than protecting the health and safety of the public.  A Vote-By-Mail Primary Election will not only spare our poll workers but is a wise step to combat a rebound of the virus.

​

We asked the Republican Legislative Leadership to support a Vote-By-Mail Primary, but received no response.  No party can be disadvantaged by a Vote-By-Mail Primary, so there is absolutely no reason to risk everyone's health to play politics.  It's time to put West Virginians first.

Vote-by-mail is a bipartisan issue, but here in West Virginia Democrats have called for a strong vote-by-mail program for 2020.

​

Vote-by-mail ensures the safety of West Virginians, from the voters to our poll workers. Now more than ever we need to find commonsense solutions to ensure that West Virginians are able to vote in 2020 and able to do so safely!

PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE 2020 ELECTIONS:

Even though all West Virginians are now allowed to vote using absentee ballots in the primary, we remain concerned for the health of voters and poll workers, thousands of whom are elderly and in the most at-risk age group.
