Progressive Views: Vote by Mail is Great

Vote-by-mail is also called vote-at-home or absentee voting. It’s increasing throughout the United States because it’s a great way to improve voter turnout, reduce election costs, and maintain security.

Progressive Views: Dysfunction at the Top

Under Jane Nelson's leadership, the TxSoS Elections Division, previously a very efficient and responsive agency, has become much more difficult to work with. Issues run from inaccurate and late voter file updates and voter history files to not sending out voter registration cards. It’s clear that our Republican leadership wants the Texas election system to fail. It’s long past time to elect statewide leadership that works in the interests of voters, not against them. Time to elect Democratic leadership.

Progressive Views: Sowing Confusion, Trampling Rights
