Voter Protection zoom call

[LetMyPeopleVote]

We had 150 participants on zoom call on voter protection efforts for early voting. It will be interesting. Normally for primaries, we do not need poll watchers but for this cycle the Texas Democrats Party is recruiting poll watchers and want as many as possible out there

1. This part of the material that I got from the State Democratic Party

Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg have formed an organization to provide legal defense to election workers who run afoul of these voter suppression laws. https://eoldn.org/

The Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN) is a project of the nonpartisan, nonprofit Center for Election Innovation & Research. EOLDN connects licensed, qualified, pro bono attorneys with election administrators who need advice or assistance. Election workers from all over the country, at the state and local level, can contact EOLDN via this website or by phone [phone]) at any time, to request to be connected to a lawyer who can help them, at no cost. This service is available regardless of the election official’s political affiliation, or whether they work in a blue or red state or county.

​​”Election officials face an increasing wave of state laws subjecting them to criminal penalties for performing their professional duties, while at the same time facing threats of violence to themselves and their families. This comes in the wake of the 2020 election and its aftermath, despite that election being the most secure and transparent election in American history, with record turnout, during a global pandemic. These attacks on election officials, the referees in democracy, must be fought and election officials need to know they are not alone. The Election Officials Legal Defense Network will provide these public servants with the advice and protection they need, at no cost.”
