Progressive group launches $59 million vote-by-mail effort
The nonprofit arm of the progressive donor group Way to Win on Thursday announced that it is rolling out a $59 million effort aimed at helping minority voters vote-by-mail in November.
The group told The Associated Press it has already poured $50 million into the 2020 general election cycle, focusing on critical swing states such as Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.
Way to Win's nonprofit arm is working with a number of organizations including George Soros's Open Society and the Ford Foundation, according to the outlet.
The push comes as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has hampered election processes across the country, resulting in a number of states to carry out mostly vote-by-mail primaries.
The vote-by-mail primaries have raised questions about how the process will take place in November after Georgia's primaries resulted in chaos earlier this month as issues with the state's new voting system resulted in long wait times and confusion at polling sites across the state.
