Bill Summary
Relative to vote by mail and the November 3, 2020, general election.
AI Summary
This Resolution, passed by the California Assembly, addresses concerns surrounding the November 3, 2020, general election amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the critical importance of vote by mail for public health and safety. It urges the federal administration and the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate to stop any actions that could hinder vote by mail or undermine public confidence in the process, and specifically calls on the United States Postmaster General to immediately reinstate any removed mailboxes and mail sorters to ensure timely ballot delivery. The Resolution highlights that California is mailing every registered voter a ballot and encourages voters to use the mail to avoid in-person contact, but expresses alarm over federal actions that have allegedly underfunded the United States Postal Service (USPS), limited overtime, removed equipment, and reduced services, all of which could compromise the election's integrity and disproportionately affect communities of color.
