Populist Reform Starts With One Person, One Vote. [View all]

Recently, Justice Ruth Ginsberg wrote a wonderful opinion on gerrymandering in which she said, voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

Most particularly, we must turn the House around before 2020, so Republicans don't get to draw districts again.

We must work within our states, cities and towns.

We must advocate for voting rights.

We must register voters.

We must be on the alert for vote caging and other measures to keep people from voting.

We must help people vote. Absentee ballots help. So do rides to the polls, or arranging transportation.

We must make sure votes get counted properly.

We must serve as election officials.

Please, please use this thread to share your experiences and suggestions regarding voting related issues.
