THREAD: EIGHT DAYS LEFT.

Trump can’t win the White House without Wisconsin—so it’s time to pull out all the stops to win (whether you live here or not).

How? Read on, RT, and… start by signing up to friendbank: wisdems.org/friendbank
The first way you can help: by downloading the Vote Joe app & using it to contact your friends & family members who might need a little extra nudge to cast their ballots.
The Vote Joe app makes it easy. And nothing’s more powerful. Here’s the app for iOS: joe.link/apple
In study after study, personal contacts from people you actually know in real life are the single thing with the greatest impact on voters.

You’re more powerful than any TV ad.

Download Vote Joe and get rolling! Here’s the Google Play store link: joe.link/androidapp
If you’ve never friend-banked before, you’re in luck—this app makes it VERY simple to do, provides suggested language, and is set up so that you decide exactly who you contact and what you say to them. VERY easy & great.

Block off some time in your calendar each day, and work through all your contacts. Seriously!

And then once that’s on track, there’s yet more to do… starting with, have you voted yet? Vote NOW!

Here’s all you need to know: Iwillvote.com
In Wisconsin, hundreds of thousands of folks have absentee ballots that they haven’t yet returned.

You can hand-deliver them to your municipal clerk or a dropbox near you until 8pm on election day!

Find boxes: vote.wisdems.org/dropbox
Wisconsin early vote in-person is open NOW! Early voting is available in Wisconsin until Sunday, November 1.

Check our special site for your municipality’s dates, times, and locations: wisdems.org/early
If you’re voting absentee, you’ll need a witness signature and address on your ballot envelope. If anyone you know has an absentee ballot, volunteer to be their witness!

Mask up and help folks exercise their rights.
DONATE: This election is riding on Wisconsin. We need to run through the tape.

Chip in now and help us protect voters on election day & make sure folks know the rules in the last sprint: wisdems.org/donate
Another way you can donate is by attending our grassroots events this week. We've got two stunners planned.
On Tuesday at 8 CT, we’re hosting a live screening of the movie Superbad with cast members providing commentary and jokes.

Chip in any amount to join our #SuperbadWatchParty!

wisdems.org/superbad
Celebrate Halloween with us & join us for a #RockyHorrorLive Musical livestream on October 31.

Tim Curry is reprising his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter! @Peppermint247, @rosariodawson, @JasonWGeorge & MORE will be there.

You should too: wisdems.org/rockyhorror
TALK TO VOTERS: If you have a phone, one of the easiest ways to get involved is to sign up for a phone bank.

Bonus, you can literally do this while sitting on your couch. Sign up for a phone bank. Then tell a friend to sign up too. wisdems.org/talktovoters
SPREAD THE WORD: Get those coveted yard signs out the door and into lawns.

Contact your local county party & see if they need help distributing signs: wisdems.org/counties.
Another way to help spread the word - social media.

We’ve even created some images that you can download and share on your social media accounts.

Voted early? We’ve got a (digital) sticker for you! wisdems.org/vote-early-too…
GET CREATIVE & GET OUTSIDE: Grab some sidewalk chalk & create a masterpiece of your own doing (maybe after the snow melts).

Share your support for Dems up and down the ticket in your driveway or sidewalk.
There is SO much to do. And it is ALL worth doing.

Let’s get to November 4 knowing we left it all on the field.

All gas, no brakes, vote vote vote!

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds Republican-appointed judges’ decision siding with Trump’s GOP on Wisconsin voting rights. Absentee ballots *must* arrive by 8pm on Election Day. We’re dialing up a huge voter education campaign—chip in to support: wisdems.org/SCOTUS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: You can still request an absentee ballot in Wisconsin. When it arrives, fill it out, get a witness signature & address on the envelope, and *hand-deliver it* by 8pm 11/3. Find your local clerk or drop box location at iwillvote.com/wi
You can also early vote in person, or vote on Election Day, and you can same-day register in Wisconsin. The rules haven't changed. But the Supreme Court failed an opportunity to expand democracy. Seize your power & hit back: VOTE VOTE VOTE!

NEW AD: Governor Tony Evers has worked tirelessly to beat the pandemic—& Wisconsin Republicans have opposed him at every turn. Now, they’re aiming for supermajorities in the state legislature instead of showing up to help Wisconsinites. RT this & read on:
The GOP legislature used a lame-duck legislative session after Evers was elected to give itself powers he was elected to wield. Then they scored a court ruling that gave them control of health emergency powers… and didn’t pass a single one.
Most recently, a judge formerly active in Republican politics overturned a health order by @GovEvers to limit capacity at indoor bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, coronavirus has spiraled out of control in our state. We’re setting up field hospitals here.

Less than five hours before the final Federal Elections Commission fundraising deadline before Nov 3—and Wisconsin is still 2020’s absolute must-win state. Trump’s here Saturday.

Chip in to roll out the green carpet:

On election day in 2016, the Real Clear Politics polling average had Clinton up by 6.5%.

Right now, Biden’s up… 6.3%. So let’s fight this as though it’s neck and neck.

With us? QT this thread. realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/pr…
We’re doing every. Single. Thing. Taking no one for granted. Writing no one off. Pushing all the way through November 3.

We learned how to win mid-pandemic this spring. Now, we’re gonna do it again.

HELP: We’re nearing the final weekend of phone banking before Wisconsin’s online voter registration deadline on Oct 14! We need your help letting voters know about this date. Sign up for a shift here and RT to share this thread: mobilize.us/wi2020victory/…
Wisconsin has same-day voter registration, and normally, tons of Wisconsinites register at their polling location. But due to the GOP’s sabotage of COVID prevention, we have a massive outbreak that could keep people away. So we need to let folks know—& phones is how we do it.
We’re in court, trying to extend this deadline, but we’ve seen that the GOP will do anything to block extensions like these, so treat the Oct 14 deadline as very real. Let’s make sure voters know about it. jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

NEWS: The GOP is pouring $2 million in dark money to defeat Ron Kind in Wisconsin’s swingiest Congressional district. They know Trump will lose Wisconsin if @KindforCongress wins big. So let’s make sure that Kind soars to victory: secure.actblue.com/donate/dpw-kin…
Why is the GOP pouring so much money into Wisconsin’s 3rd District, a gerrymandered masterpiece that covers western and central Wisconsin? Simple: Because whoever wins here wins Wisconsin. politico.com/news/2020/09/2…
The GOP is freaking out because the Supreme Court vacancy has driven home for everyone that healthcare is on the ballot. Dems won every 2018 statewide election on the promise to protect people with pre-existing conditions. The 2020 stakes: even higher.
