There are also still opportunities to volunteer in person and online - including on election day!
Unfortunately they put tougher requirements on the types of accepted IDs, yes. This especially impact Native American voters in North Dakota

I mean Biden has already started the process for rescheduling weed to schedule 3 for medical legalization. Process is long but it’s at the tail end with the final hearing in December. It’s not too hard to see Harris just using the same process but asking for full descheduling rather than asking them for schedule 3. Or if Dems get a trifecta, she could also try to get congress to legalize directly in law (faster than the executive branch only action)
Many of states on that map have started adopting it only more recently, so there’s been a push to increase it! If it’s not in your state, consider writing to your local state legislature representative to push them to pass laws for it next election!
It managed to get through in red Utah in 2018, so don’t think it’s necessarily a lost cause even if you are in a red state (though yes they are more resistant to it)

It’s also worth noting that some states have same-day voter registration, though not Ohio at the moment unfortunately. Some states started adding that more recently such as Virginia (implemented 2022) and Nevada (2019)

Put a caveat that New York, unlike the other states on the map here, only allowed it on the first day of early voting because of the quirks of the law they passed
They don’t agree on it. Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process. It’s not instant executive order to reschedule. The law lays out a rather long process, but we’re nearly at the end of it at this point
