How to help in tight House races

[austingirl 2191]

Hopefully this is allowed and sorry if it's not, but I think there are plenty of people here who'd like to know how they can help. There are still several critical House races that haven't been called, and whichever party wins will hold it by a razor-thin margin. The House race will be the difference between full GOP control of Congress, and a Congress that could actually provide a guardrail against some of the more extreme pieces of legislation the R's are suggesting.

There are ways you can help get these votes counted. Every election, thousands of mail-in ballots are thrown out for small errors, like a missing signature line, or a missing date. In 2020, around 560,000 ballots were rejected because of these errors, but many states have a process to help voters correct their ballot so it can be re-submitted. It's called ballot curing, and that's where we can help. And to be clear, this process is for counting every vote, no matter who the person voted for.

Vote Save America is organizing a ton of events like phone banking or door-to-door canvassing to help people correct their ballots and get their vote counted. You can view the list of opportunities and sign up here. You don't have to live in an area with an ongoing race to participate - I live in Austin and I'm phonebanking for the CA District 45 race, for example. Right now, there's ~7k margin between the D and R candidates, and only 79% of precincts have reported.

SO, if you've been wondering what you can with the election in the rearview mirror, here's your shot.
