Voter Protection calls to Cure Ballots · Mobilize
Join VoPro Pros to help ensure that likely Democratic voters in states such as Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, and Ohio, and maybe more, to help cure Mail-in/absentee ballots that have been cast. As we get the data on rejected ballots, we will help voters fix mistakes, known as curing, so their voted ballots count! Unless they take action, their votes will not count. Please join us for important and impactful voter protection phone banks to help votes count! Note: Please arrive on time as we cannot accommodate late arrivals after the first five (5) minutes of the session. In each shift, we will do phone banking to support the most critical and current voter protection priorities in one of these key states. Below is our projected schedule, but it may change on a dime, if we have an urgent, immediate priority. We will meet on zoom and provide training, a script, and contact information for targeted voters. We’ll call using the OpenVPB system, where you’ll call on your own phone or Google Voice (or a web based calling app on your computer or phone). No experience, preparation or background knowledge is required. You'll make calls while being supported by our experienced staff on zoom. Come to our 2 hour phone banks and make a difference! We promise your calling will be the most critical of the moment. We will try to update you here, if we know the project of the day. If you have questions, write to us at voterprotectionVPP@gmail.com Probable upcoming phone bank topics, subject to change as needs change: 11/2 - Ohio cure 5pm ET 11/2 - Nevada cure - 7pm ET 11/3 Cure-a-Palooza - many states- all day! All Eastern Time: 10-12pm; 12-3pm; 1-3pm; 3-5pm; 5-7pm; 7-9pm. Once you're trained, you can stay on zoom and cure as long as you want! 11/4 until end of curing - tbd

"As you all are well aware, Election Day is Tuesday! But you may not know right now, ballots that voters already cast are at risk of being thrown out.

With early voting underway, some ballots are getting flagged for small, fixable errors, like a missing signature. The voter usually has no idea. If nobody reaches them before their state’s curing deadline, that vote doesn’t count. In close races, those ballots can add up to the margin. That’s why we’ve partnered with VoPro Pros to bring our volunteers into their ballot curing phone banks, calling voters in battleground states including Iowa, Ohio, and Georgia!

If you’ve held back from phone banking because you’re uncomfortable trying to persuade strangers to vote, this is a different kind of call. These folks have already voted and you’re just letting them know there’s a problem with their ballot and walking them through how to fix it.

Shifts are running every day, and just two hours makes a difference! You’ll get a script, training, and support at every session, so no experience is needed.

And if you have no plans on Election Day, you can join the Cure-a-Palooza on Tuesday, November 3, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET.

After Election Day, because ballots in several states can still be fixed after polls close, phone banks continue through mid-November, until each state’s curing deadline. Needs are changing fast, so state assignments may shift.

Thank you for all that you’ve done this election cycle. Now, let’s close it out!" - Kim L., Activate America
