Never Give Up, Never Surrender

As a big focus in 2020 will be on various kinds of elections, I've pulled together voting-related resources from the last three (!) years of thisfinecrew. Many thanks to all the people who originally brought these links and organisations to the attention of the comm.

Keep an eye on your voter registration

Some states are very good at dropping eligible voters off their rolls during "normal" updates, so keep an eye on your registration (and remind others to do so).

You can use Vote.org to check your registration or use this awesome post on US Voter Information put together by sathari to find links to a range of election information for your specific state.
