.@SenAngusKing: We shouldn't make citizens choose between their health and safety and their right to vote. The federal govt can provide the funds to support changes to election systems, but it will be up to the states to put systems in place that are safe and widely available.

.@SenAngusKing: Voting-by-mail doesn't favor one party or candidate. Election reform is a non-partisan issue & making these changes will take bipartisan support. Call your U.S. senators/reps & tell them to fund changes to make sure everyone can safely vote during the pandemic.

.@SenAngusKing: We can take steps to protect against election interference, no matter how people vote. But the best defense of a secure election is an informed citizenry with access to good information.

.@SenAngusKing: If you want to help make our elections stronger, talk to your town clerk and ask them what they need to make the election successful.

Big thank you to Kathy Montejo, Lewiston City Clerk, who joined on behalf of municipal clerks around the state. Clerk Montejo: "Our biggest concern is the ability to adequately staff the polls on election day. That is where we need the most support."

Clerk Montejo: There is a need for both mail-in voting and in-person voting. We encourage everyone who is able to register and vote by mail. But some people aren't able to vote by mail and will need in-person access.

Clerk Montejo: Any Mainer who is interested in serving their town and their community on election day is encouraged to reach out to their town clerk and ask how they can help.

.@lkpmaine of @AARPMaine: Mail-in voting is safe and secure. Anyone who can should vote safely from home. And we should all feel confident that the USPS will be there for us.

Robyn Merrill of @MeEqualJustice: Vote-by-mail is hugely important but it isn't possible for all people, such as those who lack a mailing address or those that have a disability or language barrier and require assistance to vote.

Robyn Merrill, @MeEqualJustice: The goal is ensuring that every single eligible Mainer who wants to vote can vote.
