A must-read from Ben Ginsberg & Bob Bauer: "Despite all the 2020 rhetoric, this country has a solid system to count votes; to adjudicate allegations of fraud, irregularity or error; to provide avenues for resolving close elections; and to declare winners." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
"The president has notably failed to produce any evidence of systemic fraud to support his claims. He has ignored the fact that Republican observers have witnessed voting in every election and have discovered fraud only in rare, isolated incidences." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
"The process to overturn an election would require specific evidence proved on a precinct and county level. Blanket challenges won’t work. Bombastic rhetoric at a rally or a television interview is far from sufficient." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
"Remember that mistakes will occur. Roughly 10,500 separate jurisdictions will process as many as 160 million votes aided by more than 1 million volunteers. That broad participation is a core strength but will also yield inevitable errors." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
"Mistakes do not equal systemic fraud. Distorting mistakes into something more than they are may serve one candidate’s agenda while damaging the integrity of our system" washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

Tomorrow is the last day of voting in the 2020 presidential election, and there's still time to make your vote count — here are my top four of my guides w/ @GraphicsInsider for in-person Election Day voting I'm re-upping today 1/6
First up, did you know that in many states, you can register to vote in-person and then go vote on Election Day itself? That’s right — 19 states and the District of Columbia now have same-day registration! 2/6
businessinsider.com/voter-registra…
Places with same-day voter registration: CA, CO, DC, HI, ID, IL, IA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MT, NV, NH, UT, VT, WA, WI, and WY. Keep in mind that you need to bring ID/proof of residency to register on E-day, so be sure to look up what you need to bring with you beforehand 3/6

It's 4 days out from the last day of voting on November 3, and there are 36 million outstanding mail ballots from voters who requested but have not returned them, per @ElectProject, but don't despair! There's still time to make those votes count electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-202… Image
If you didn't get your ballot or are in one of the states that won’t allow you to return your ballot in-person, go vote in-person! You may have to cast a provisional ballot, but that ballot will still be counted as long as the mail ballot you also requested doesn't arrive 2/3
Here's a great guide on that from @voteathome voteathome.medium.com/can-i-vote-in-…

The lines to vote this morning at the David Rubinstein Atrium in Lincoln Center (Upper West Side) are insane, even while I was taking this video, I was confused to where the lines began/ended
The scaffolding here (and my somewhat poor videography) makes it hard to capture the full extent of the lines, the entire block was absolutely packed with people
I went to Central Park and came back to Lincoln Center about an hour and a half later, and the lines were still just as long. Here’s a sped-up video I took of the line — as you can see, some people brought fold-up chairs to sit on, crossword puzzles, and books #VoteEarlyDay

New: A couple months ago, I put out a guide on 5 mistakes to avoid while voting by mail. Now with 12 days left to vote in the 2020 presidential election, here are my top 5 tips and best practices to follow for voting in-person early or on Election Day: businessinsider.com/5-tips-for-vot…
If you haven’t requested a mail ballot yet, it’s likely too late to do so, and you should vote in-person, @beckerdavidj says. He recommends voting early in-person if you can — early voting is currently ongoing in most states, and is a great option
businessinsider.com/when-is-early-…
Tip #1: Double-check the location and hours of your in-person voting site, which may have changed since the last time you voted. And for early voting, the hours may be different than on Election Day, so look at that ahead of time and make a plan in advance to beat the crowds

Some interesting tidbits on voting from the new @QuinnipiacPoll: 36% of likely voters have voted or plan to vote by mail or absentee ballot, 33% say they plan to vote in person on Election Day, and 28% say they have or will vote in early in-person poll.qu.edu/national/relea…
For comparison, about 23% of the electorate voted by mail/absentee in 2016, 17% voted early-in-person, and 60% voted in-person on Election Day, per @EACgov eac.gov/documents/2017…
"68 percent of likely voters say they are more motivated to vote than in past presidential elections...Compared to the 2016 presidential election, there is a 15-point increase in those who say they are more motivated to vote." poll.qu.edu/national/relea…

NEW: The California GOP setting up unauthorized and unofficial drop boxes not only runs afoul of the law (the CA SOS/AG issued cease and desist orders tonight), it puts them at odds with months of Trump and other Rs slamming ballot harvesting as fraudulent businessinsider.com/california-gop…
Tonight, @CASOSvote and @AGBecerra announced they sent cease-and-desist orders to the @CAGOP and county parties in Fresno, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties for setting up illegal dropboxes, hours after the state party doubled down on the practice
While California does indeed have some expansive rules around 3rd-party ballot collection, state law pretty clearly prohibits third parties/political groups that are not election officials from setting up drop boxes — people returning others' ballots must follow specific rules
