From Georgia to Wisconsin to Ohio earlier this year, voters in primary elections were stuck for hours in lines from sharply reduced polling locations. And the surge in absentee ballots due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic overwhelmed election officials.

) are participating in a CEO-led bipartisan activist group called Time to Vote, which encourages companies to give employees at least a few hours off to vote.

“We know that barriers exist, notably in Black and Brown communities throughout the nation, that lend to systemic racism and require greater voter access and protections,” Johnson said in an internal memo on Aug. 27. “No will have to choose between working their shift or voting on or before Election Day.”

“Voting is always important, but the degree of partisan polarization this year seems to be extraordinarily high. This makes the stakes of the election unusually high as well,” said Jonathan Entin, professor of political science at Case Western Reserve University.

Yes IN PERSON!!!

Should Be a National Holiday!!! Take the Day OFF to complete your CIVIC DUTY!!! VOTE!!!

No issues with encouraging voting and even helping get registered or allowing time off to go vote...as long as they don't tell/encourage/incentivize/imply who to vote for, as one very large company that no longer exists due to merger used to do...

Apple tho 💕

Eye roll

Democracy at its best!

Do we have to trust these 'volunteers'?

Isn't that the patriotic thing to do? Let's hope they give their employees the proper time off to vote. Vote

Good,this time must with application of mind, change is necessary.When we return from work we change,we bathe to keep ourselves clean a fresh.We move to health resorts to break monotony,to have change.This time 'change' also to keep America a fresh , robust.

They should give employees a paid day off to ensure they can vote.

There is so much to it.

This is great, but it really just needs to be a national holiday.

How about U.S. companies bring jobs BACK TO USA? How about companies like Target only buy & sell products that are Made in USA?

We plan too. 4MoreYears

✔️A MUST! ✔️WE NEED ALL THE HELP POSSIBLE TO OFFSET TRUMP’S CRIMINAL EFFORTS TO DESTROY FREE/FAIR ELECTIONS. ✔️HE’S DOING ANYTHING HE CAN TO STEAL THE ELECTION. ✔️THE ONLY WAY TO DEFEAT HIM IS A MASSIVE TURNOUT. ✔️EVEN SOUNDLY DEFEATED HE WON’T ACCEPT THE RESULTS. *sorry yelling

Dems and a Communist are trying to corrupt the American voting system with fraud. 👎 Sue .

Let’s be clear. Trump has declared war on his own country. He is openly attacking all media, Democrats, blacks, Latinos, etc. Will not denounce Putin. Destroying NATO. Openly corrupt administration. All those indicted around him. Time to vote Trump and all GOP enabler‘s out!

This is going to be the craziest election in the history of the United States. There are going to be movies about this year!

Please Mates Vote Voooote

and remember:

Is there going to be special ones for GOP voters that say 'I ILLEGALLY VOTED'?

If people can shop, protest, run, go to the beach, and go to work in person, they can vote in person. It's their responsibility. But mail in voting is going to cause chaos and uncertainty, and cretaes the potential for fraud. That's, of course, exactly what the Democrats want.

Yes get out the vote for brick2020

Es cierto.el voto es un derecho universal.

A sleeping giant will come to the polls when they open November and I’ll be one of them Virus or no virus
