https://www.usa.gov/midterm-state-and-local-elections
check your voter registration; https://www.usa.gov/confirm-voter-registration#item-214522
check to see where your district is; https://www.democracydocket.com/news/here-are-the-maps-that-could-change-between-now-and-2024/
find out whats on the ballot
PLAN YOUR VOTES.
There are a lot of folks to vote for but don't let it overwhelm you.
-- Write up your candidate(s) under each vote category on paper.
You can do this because it wont be hard to find your Democratic Party candidate(s) name(s)
For a primary, check multiple Democrats for their stance on abortion from https://ontheissues.org/default.htm
Lay your category candidate choices out on paper.
Make copies to pass out to busy/lazy friends, neighbors, strangers.
Tell them to make copies of yours and pass them along.
Along with each copy, offer them transportation to the poll site if it's not within walking distance.
WHY: SELF EVIDENT. Along with more reasons to GYAOTV:
midterms are consistently 20% lower than general elections, with the exceptions of 2018 and 2020; be the voter of the third blue wave
primary elections are already underway; vote in your states primary

The above comes from Democracy Docket, a great plan-your-vote site that uses the above posted information hyperlinks, and a lot more.
This here is how we all fucking WIN.
BECAUSE WERE THE TRUE BADASS PATRIOTS.

Now let's get to work...
There are women who need to register to vote --

(43,162 posts)9. Thank YOU.
Amen on the registering of women, especially 18 year-olds. They'll have a tough road ahead if they don't.
