AS THE NATION CONTINUES TO BATTLE A PANDEMIC, ADVOCATES FOR SENIORS IN CALIFORNIA SAY THAT BOTH THE HEALTH AND THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF VOTERS OVER 50 ARE ON THE LINE.
NANCY MCPHERSON IS STATE-DIRECTOR OF "A-A-R-P
CALIFORNIA"...
(MCPHERSON):
"FROM PREVENTING CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, AND PROTECTING MEDICARE, TO LOWERING PRESCRIPTION-DRUG PRICES, OLDER CALIFORNIANS DESERVE TO CAST THEIR VOTES ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CALIFORNIA-VOTERS KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THEIR OPTIONS, AND CAN VOTE
SAFELY--WHETHER THEY USE AN ABSENTEE BALLOT, OR CAST A VOTE ON ELECTION DAY.
IF VOTING BY MAIL, MAKE SURE [THAT] YOU FILL OUT THE BALLOT COMPLETELY--AND THEN PUT THE BALLOT INSIDE THE OFFICIAL RETURN-ENVELOPE, SEAL IT, SIGN IT, AND DATE IT.
EVERY MAIL-IN BALLOT IS CHECKED BY ELECTION-OFFICIALS, BEFORE IT'S
COUNTED--SO YOU CAN BE SURE [THAT] YOUR BALLOT IS SECURE. YOU CAN EVEN TRACK YOUR MAIL-IN
BALLOT--WITH THE NEW PROGRAM, 'WHERE'S MY BALLOT?'."
