Flip the Senate and more

 

Flipping the Senate from red to blue is almost as important as Biden winning the presidency.  Biden, if he is elected, must have a Senate majority of Democrats to get anything of consequence done including Supreme Court and other court nominations if vacancies occur.  A contribution or several if you can afford it would be wonderful.   Simply go to the Democratic candidate's web page.  For example Google "Jon Ossoff for Senate" scroll until you see his campaign site.  Rinse and repeat if you can for any other and/or all Democratic candidates. 

The Democratic candidates listed below for Senate are in blue/bold and their Republican opponent's respective states are listed in parenthesis below. 

Dem MJ Hegar v. (John Cornyn R Texas)

Dem Amy McGrath v. (Moscow Mitch R Kentucky)

Dem Jon Ossoff v. (David Purdue R Georgia)

Dem Sara Gideon v. (Susan Collins R Maine)

Dem Jaime Harrison v. (Lindsey Graham R South Carolina)

Dem Cal Cunningham v. (Thom Tillis R. North Carolina)

Dem Mark Kelley v. (Martha McSally R. Arizona)

Moreover, if you have the time you can go to the web sites and volunteer to call registered Democrats from other states to ensure they get out early to cast a vote for Joe Biden/Kamala Harris, the Dems running for Senate and other down ballot Democrats. 

Vote blue now up and down the ticket if you have not already voted.  If you vote tomorrow, November 3, vote early at your assigned polling place or deposit your ballot as soon as possible in your assigned drop box.  I have never experienced a problem voting in Massachusetts.

Here are instructions:

" There are laws that prohibit the carrying of firearms in certain locations in Massachusetts, such as school zones, post offices and other federal buildings. Schools in particular are commonly used as polling locations on Election Day. If the law restricts the carrying of a firearm in or around the building where a polling place is located, then it is illegal to carry a firearm at that polling location."

If you feel intimidated by an observer or see behavior that concerns you at the polls talk to the warden. The warden is empowered to enforce all election laws and regulations. A police officer is located at each polling place to aid the warden in that duty.

Should there be an issue that cannot be resolved with the warden, you can also call your local election office and/or the Election Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s office. That toll-free number, 1-800-462-VOTE, is posted at every polling place, along with the “voter’s bill of rights.”
