Dr. Vindman, pls allow me to suggest action steps we can all take.
Let’s mail Get-out-the-vote postcards to urge everyone to vote Blue! ! Some people hand-write the message and addresses in colorful markers. That’s very time-consuming - and my hand writing is terrible. So I buy cards with pre-printed voter instructions, and addresses printed right on the cards (or on sheets of Avery labels they provide). You can often buy stamps there, too!
You want cards with the Voterizer QR code (or web address) printed on. The recipient aims their smart phone camera at the code, a web site appears, they enter their state - in a flash, they can check if they’re registered, register if they are not (in some states, they have until 14 days before the election!). They can also ask for a mail-in ballot. Right then and there!
Unless you want to do a lot of writing, check the card’s back view before ordering - some cards have state-specific imagery on the front, but blank backs. If you get pre-printed cards, you only need to write a couple sentences in a colorful fine-tip marker.
I’ve sent out 350 cards already to GA, AZ, PA, and MI. Who will join me?
Thank you, Dr. Vindman, for continuing to lead in thinking through the defense of Ukraine in multiple scenarios. I’m especially concerned to see the mounting risk of a war between Putin’s Russia and NATO nations in Europe.
I would love to see your analysis of the possible scenarios of a Harris win of the presidency while leading a divided government versus a Democratic sweep. Perhaps there is too much potential variability in our upcoming election, including risks of political violence and far right attacks on election legitimacy.
