I met Marvin on the street while canvassing yesterday in SE Georgia.
We talked about his experiences in his small town, the candidates, & the importance of making our voices heard at the ballot box.
But when I asked him when he planned to vote, he said he wasn't going to.

Someone at his county courthouse had recently told him that, b/c of a past criminal record, he wasn't eligible to vote.
Well, we double-checked the @GaSecofState website & it turns out that just wasn't true.
According to the site, he had become re-registered as of October!

So Marvin dropped everything and we headed down to the early voting location, where he successfully cast his ballot for @ReverendWarnock, @ossoff, and @BlackmanDNA!
Voter suppression/confusion is real. If you're a Georgian & think you can't vote, double-check your registration!
If you're in Georgia & someone tells you they're not registered, there's no harm in checking to make sure! The SOS website makes it easy.

Also, safely join us to socially-distanced canvass! Joe Biden won by ~4.5 votes/precinct statewide. EVERY single conversation matters in the next week.
It may not seem like much, but with thousands of volunteers having vote-planning convos, it adds up! https://www.mobilize.us/georgiademocrats/event/367365/

If you're not able to knock doors, make calls!
Conversations on the phones can also help voters make a plan to vote, and we need all hands on deck! https://www.mobilize.us/georgiademocrats/event/364626/

It may not seem like much, but thousands of volunteers adding their drops of effort can create a tsunami of democracy!
And that's how we win, and more importantly how we empower voters like Marvin and create infrastructure for lasting change. So let's do this thing!
