Lawyers for Harris is a national network of legal professionals and friends who facilitate what Michelle Obama said — “Do Something”!

Voter Protection , in particular Ballot Cure (explained below), which is necessary in many states, regarding U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and other down-ballot races.
Your help in in-person & remote ballot cure is critically important!
You do not need to be a lawyer to do Ballot Cure!
Any supporter of the Rule of Law is welcome to help Cure Ballots.

Special Urgent Need — Ballot Cure Volunteers
Live & Remote — Post-Election Day
(Urgent as of 6 November 2024)
What is Ballot Cure:
If a mail-in ballot is missing a signature or date, the election board may reject the ballot as deficient. Ballot Cure is the process of helping voters fix (“cure”) that ballot by resolving the signature or date issue. If a deficient ballot is not cured, the ballot will not be counted.
Ballot cure volunteers can work by phone from their homes. They undergo a brief training at the start of their phone shift, then speaking with voters to help cure their ballots. Volunteers might also work in the field, visiting voters at their homes. Volunteers may work for short shifts — 1 to 2 hours, or much longer.
When a Ballot Cure Volunteer contacts a voter, that voter may not even know their ballot was rejected. Ballot Cure Volunteers are greatly appreciated by voters who have a chance to have their vote counted.
Why Ballot Cure Matters:
In Pennsylvania, Senator Bob Casey is 30,000 votes shy of victory. Currently, about 100,000 ballots have been rejected in PA, and if they are cured, the 30,000 deficit may be overcome. The only path to victory for Sen. Casey is through ballot cure.
In North Carolina, there are 2 State Senate races in which one candidate is up by fewer than 50 votes, and there are 65,000 provisional ballots that have not been cured. NC is seeking to break a Republican supermajority.
There are many other razor thin races in the U.S., with ballots that need to be cured.
Ballot curing makes a difference.
