"Meet the people where they are: On their phones.” - Bradley Tusk, @MobileVoting founder Neither the US government nor Silicon Valley have developed the technology, or the political will, to modernize US voting. Will Gen Z lead the way? nashvillesunn.com/766/politi… @NashvilleSUNN

Will We Be the First Generation to Vote By Phone?

If Gen Z wants to be a more inclusive, less polarized democracy, it’s time to meet voters where they already are: on their phones

Political math is pretty simple – more voters means politicians must appeal to everyday people, not just extremists. Special interests lose power. Compromise becomes possible. @MobileVoting exists to make this happen. (2/3)

Primaries decide who represents us all, yet only 10% of Americans show up to vote in state and local primaries. Imagine what would change with a bump to, say, 25% participation! 🧵(1/3)

Let us be clear: Attacking military service members’ freedom to vote — especially while an election is underway — is un-American. Thank you @CampaignLegal! campaignlegal.org/update/mil…

This is unacceptable! If we can move money on our phones why can’t we create ways for everyone to have easy access to voting! America should be ashamed of itself!

Some Indigenous communities are so remote that Natives must ride 200 miles round trip just to vote. It’s time to bring polling sites to the reservation. Agree?

Alongside a bill from @councilofdc, a mobile voting option could be heading to DC. @MobileVoting's @JocelynBucaro tells us what the rollout could look like. bit.ly/30rCZzf

Happy voting on this Primary Day, New York. Historically, turn out ranges between 10-20%––it's abysmally low. It's time for more balloting options––a pilot for mobile voting for absentee ballots and disabled/aging populations. My op-ed from last May: nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…

The #ForThePeopleAct would eliminate #accessible #voting options & prevent innovation in election technology, barring accessibility gains in the future and silencing the voice of millions of Americans who are #blind and #VisuallyImpaired. Learn more: acb.org/press-release-for-th…

Voter turnout in NYC is stubbornly low. New Yorkers need new voting options. Mobile & electronic voting increases voter turnout, it works & the technology is available. Together w. @MobileVoting, we are pushing to make this a reality. radio.com/wcbs880/news/local…

Our country’s voting system is broken & @realDonaldTrump is trying to sabotage the Postal Service & delegitimize vote-by-mail. We need to reimagine elections for the 21st century. We can do that w. mobile-voting. This will give voters fast, secure & safe access to the ballot.

It is pretty crazy that we can order a private car, have food delivered, and communicate with millions of people from our phones, yet we still can’t vote for our elected officials from the same devices.

OPINION | If a voter can’t go to a poll site or mail in a timely ballot, what’s the back-up plan? The obvious answer is mobile voting and the need for it couldn’t be any more compelling, @EmilSkandul, founder of @capitolfoundry, writes. trib.al/79wNKuK

New York and America need more mobile voting now

It’s a constellation of bad events occurring at the same time that could disrupt upcoming elections through to November. It reads like a dystopian thriller novel where everything that can potentially...
