Texting, Postcards and More!
We are really ramping up activities now that we are only 62 days to Election Day. Voting starts in parts of Pennsylvania in less than 2 weeks! We have added Phone Bank days, and the plan is to use the dialer for most phone banks. That means no dialing by hand, and more conversations with voters! Check out the details below.
We also have more texting and added postcarding opportunities, and information on how you can protect the right to vote.
Join the Pennsylvania Jewish Americans for Biden Launch with Doug Emhoff tomorrow afternoon and learn about vote tripling on Saturday.
Plus, there is a great live streaming event with Jonathan Kassa, Madeleine Dean, Maria Collett and Dr. Val Arkoosh on Monday, Labor Day, at noon.
There are less than 9 weeks until Election Day, and voting starts in 13 days. Now is the time to get into ACTION!

News from MontcoPA:
MontcoPA New Voting System Demo, October 5, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Montco PA will have an Open House of their new #MontcoPA voter verified paper ballot Voting System!
Residents will have the opportunity to test out the new voting system, which is also ADA compliant, in College Hall on the Central Campus of the Montgomery County Community College, 340 Morris Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422
More information on the new voting system can be found at https://www.montcopa.org/votingsystem
Click here to register for the October 5 event
Montgomery County Voter Services will set up five simulated polling locations for voters to experience the new system first-hand.
The new system replaces the electronic push-button voting machines the County purchased in 1996 that were at the end of their useful life. The old machines also did not meet the state mandate for counties to have a voting system with a verifiable paper trail in place for the 2020 Presidential election.
With the new system, most voters will use a pen to fill out a ballot and have an opportunity to check it for accuracy before submitting it to a scanner that tabulate the votes and keep the ballot in a secure container for audits or recounts.
Each polling place will also have an ADA touchscreen machine that can be used to select candidates. When the voter is done filling out the ballot, they can review their selections and print out a paper ballot that will be submitted to a scanner for tabulation the same as the ballots filled out by hand.
