Susan and her team have done a fantastic job of making voting easier and safer for so many voters. The tools on the US Vote website provide current civic data and state by state assistance in actually voting. The impact of US Vote far exceeds the resources which are so carefully used to enahnce the mission of making every citizen a voter.
I support US Vote with a recurring monthly contribution and Iurge everyone who cares about free and unimpeded elections in the US to make a donation.
