I'm rooting for you Montana flattop man
Jon Tester is a Democrat running for reelection in Montana. He is a born-and-raised Montana farmer. This is going to be a tough race, but Jon is a good man who is pro-choice and pro-union, and I think he can win. I'm rooting for him

College student Montana voting questions
My friend is in college in Montana and he moved there about 30 days ago. Is he going to vote in Montana or his home state? How can he find out?

Should I still send postcards to North Carolina?
I signed up for Postcards to Swing States months ago and have been diligently working on them. Today’s the day I was told to drop them in the mail! However, they’re all going to North Carolina. Given the hurricane devastation, should I weed through the addresses and skip sending any to places like Asheville that were hit hardest? Or do I send them all as planned?
I also thought about adding a short note of sympathy at the bottom (something I can write 200x in an hour or two) - any suggestions?

Our Adopt-A-Candidate campaign for 2024 has launched!
If you’re new to r/VoteDem, this campaign allows you to chose one - or more - candidates you commit to volunteer for throughout the year.
It’s by no means exhaustive - we will be continually adding more candidates to this list over the next few months. And if you want to adopt a candidate who isn’t on the list, just let us know.
Want to adopt a candidate? Tell us in this thread or send us a modmail!

Do I have to choose democratic to vote for Harris?
Years ago I chose Independent and my choice was not on the ballet.

Voting questions
I am currently a New Hampshire resident and moving to New Jersey next week, which is within 30 days of the Election Day. New Jersey requires 30 days residence in order to vote. My question is: am I still eligible to vote in any of two states?
