Election officials, USPS ensure reliable ballot collection

The League of Women Voters of Snohomish County stands in support of our state/county election officials and our U.S. Postal Service in their tireless efforts to ensure that mail ballots are delivered and received in a timely manner in preparation for the November election.

We are aware of the president’s remarks seeking to undercut confidence about mail-in ballots. Studies by the nonpartisan Brennan Center show decades of safe, secure and accurate vote by mail. As League members, we have been on the front lines of elections for 100 years, registering voters, providing nonpartisan information for voters on state propositions, moderating candidate forums and more. We’ve also volunteered our time as poll workers, election observers and election equipment monitors (called accuracy and logic testing) which detects any possible impropriety that may occur.

We appreciate the work of these dedicated professionals whose sole mission is to ensure a free and fair election for all qualified voters.

Kate Lunceford

President, LWVSC
