@jasoncarubia Hi Jason - you should be getting the application in the mail, but the application is also on our website at https://t.co/bp0WJdMnqL! — PolitiTweet.org

The message is clear, when the legislature goes into special session, they should enshrine in law voters' right to cast an absentee ballot. Legislators should trust the people of Connecticut. https://t.co/2hsl6Xc7KT — PolitiTweet.org

The consensus is bipartisan - Republicans, Democrats, and Unaffiliated voters all want to be able to participate in the November election while still protecting their health and the health of their neighbors ... https://t.co/2hsl6Xc7KT — PolitiTweet.org

@womensmarchct @ctblogger In August any voter will be able to check the COVID-19 box on the AB application if they want to vote by AB. The legislature would have to act to make that true for November as well. — PolitiTweet.org

tl;dr: We are using use-it-or-lose-it federal grant money designed to increase access to ABs, to increase access to ABs, at no cost to CT, voters, or towns, by mailing an AB application to every eligible voter, in order to protect voters' and pollworkers' health during COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

BTW, the next two paragraphs show which CT towns have historically had the most absentee ballots in the last few elections https://t.co/hHV4JA5qF4 — PolitiTweet.org

... we are safeguarding Connecticut voters' ability to participate in choosing their government. And make no mistake – fear of the coronavirus will guarantee that we will be seeing a higher volume of absentee ballots in 2020 whether we like it or not." https://t.co/Kg6fiq2XWf — PolitiTweet.org

The state, through the federal CARES Act funds, is able to pay the cost of postage, that is normally borne by the voter and by taxpayers! — PolitiTweet.org

And not just protecting voters' health while allowing them to safely vote (as 43 other states already do) - but protecting their pocketbooks. The federal funding allows us to ensure that every voter who wants to vote by AB can do so *at no cost to them or their towns!* https://t.co/Pvrn7fBdBH — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, here is the release in question: https://t.co/FSBKnoZOAD - It is 14 paragraphs long, elections are important and there was a lot to say! But the 9th paragraph is far from being about increasing voter turnout - it is about protecting the health of *every* voter! https://t.co/E5RmbFuwA9 — PolitiTweet.org

More here: https://t.co/0d3n5ScYMV This is due to the good work of @SenBlumenthal @ChrisMurphyCT @rosadelauro @RepJohnLarson @RepJoeCourtney @jahimes @RepJahanaHayes in securing this funding — PolitiTweet.org
Office of the Connecticut Secretary of the State @CTSotS
Second, our entire plan is funded by the federal CARES Act grant that was specifically given to make our elections safer and expand access to absentee ballots - there is no cost to the state and any unused funds would have to be returned to the federal government. https://t.co/hBGEiu4DAr — PolitiTweet.org

First, as I have said repeatedly, my office is not mailing *Absentee Ballots* to every voter whether they want one or not as it says here; we are mailing *Absentee Ballot APPLICATIONS* to every voter - in order to get an AB, the voter has to specifically request one, as always. https://t.co/3rSDYwMjbt — PolitiTweet.org

There has been some confusion out there about my plan for making sure that no voter has to choose between protecting their health and casting their ballot in the 2020 elections, so I wanted to take a moment to correct some misperceptions in this article: https://t.co/Zef7jh5Zg4 — PolitiTweet.org
