We are just beginning in this new pandemic in this nation. We may not know how bad this will be, or how long it could last. Voting rights should not be restricted in different ways across a nation that values it's notion as the greatest free nation on the planet.

We may be living through uncertain times with new restrictions that we've never had to face. One thing we should guarantee to all of our citizens is that simple right to vote.

Our country is strongest when we all have a voice. I want this right to not exist only in a few states, but across our entire country. If not only to give everyone access to their right to vote equally, but their right to do so in a far safer manner that protects our communities.

We have the capability of doing this to protect our elderly citizens, those with preexisting conditions who could struggle if exposed to novel coronavirus. It is within our power to preserve our rights while also being able to maintain a level of social distancing that could end this pandemic. I hope to see support for this petition that is so vital to the overall health of our country.
