This president and his allies in statehouses and on the courts are doing everything in their power to keep your vote from counting.

At this point, if you can, you should *drop your ballot off rather than mail it.* Here's a thread on how to do that.
In Minnesota, you can drop your ballot anywhere you can vote in-person.

Some cities and towns have other locations, too. You can find those here: sos.state.mn.us/elections-voti…
But what if you aren’t lucky enough to live in Minnesota 😉? Don’t worry. Got you covered. In Wisconsin, cities and towns set their own locations, but typically are at your municipal clerk's office.

You can find yours, and check your ballot status, at myvote.wi.gov/en-us/
In Michigan there are lots of places to drop your ballot. You can find the closest ballot drop off location with the Michigan Sec. of State: mvic.sos.state.mi.us
In Ohio, Republicans have been fighting tooth and nail to limit where you can vote early and drop off your ballot. They’ve limited those locations to only your county election center. You can find yours here: ohiosos.gov/elections/vote…
In Iowa it’s the same story. Your only option for dropping off an absentee ballot is at your county commissioner or auditor’s office. Many of these offices do have installed drop boxes in front of them so you don’t have to go inside. Find yours here: sos.iowa.gov/elections/audi…
Pennsylvania has an all Democratic executive branch, so no surprise they make dropping off your ballot super easy. There are multiple offices, drop boxes, and satellite voting offices, and all the information you need to find yours is here: votespa.com/Voting-in-PA/p…
In North Carolina, you can drop off your ballot at your county office, or at *any* early voting site. You can find a full list of both of those, and search for the closest one to you at vt.ncsbe.gov/OSSite/
If you’re in Georgia (yes, it’s a swing state!) you can find your nearest ballot drop box at gaballotdropbox.org - thanks @GeorgiaDemocrat!
Arizona also has a bunch of ballot drop boxes. You can find the closest one to you and see a map of all your options here: azcleanelections.gov/how-to-vote/ea…
It's pretty clear: one political party wants to make sure it's as hard as possible for you to vote.

Begs the question: if the only way you can win the game is cheat, what does that say about the player?

In Minnesota, we know that organized people will always beat organized money.

Tonight, our movement didn’t just win. We earned a mandate for change. Despite outside efforts to defeat us, we once again broke turnout records.

Despite the attacks, our support has only grown.
This election isn’t about me. It’s about an agenda rooted in people’s everyday struggles—and the corporations and rightwing donors who are threatened by it.
It’s about standing up to a President who promised to ban an entire group of people from this country based solely on their Muslim identity, calls our countries of origin ‘shithole countries,’ and threatened to send us back to where we came from.

.@SenKamalaHarris gets it right here:

In Minneapolis, we spend $193 million on police.

11 times what we spend on health.

And 482 times what we spend on crime prevention.

Reimagining the role of police means building a system that prioritizes community investment.
Most problems arising from substance use, mental health diagnoses, and poverty require medical professionals and social workers — not criminal enforcement or armed officers.
In Minneapolis, the police department doesn’t perform the most fundamental role we expect — solving serious crimes and caring for victims.

The MPD leaves ½ of all homicides unsolved.

They have literally destroyed hundreds of rape kits.

Maybe @Paulgazelka should’ve talked to our suburban moms before trying do divide us!

We are One Minnesota and we reject your fearmongering and division.

I am heartbroken.

Horrified at the needless death of George Floyd, another innocent black man murdered by police in our community.

Frustrated that we keep finding ourselves in this position as a city.

Angry that justice still seems out of reach.
Our anger is just.

Our anger is warranted.

And our priority right now must be protecting one another.
Violence only begets violence.

More force is only going to lead to more lives lost and more devastation.

We must prioritize the safety of our community.

We can rebuild, but we cannot bring back lives.
