Phil Scott (R-Vt.) has signed an election bill that requires the states to send out mail-in ballots to all registered voters. The governor went against the GOP trend and signed bill S.15 on Monday, which he claims will make voting more accessible and increase voter participation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m signing this bill because I believe making sure voting is easy and accessible, and increasing voter participation is important,\u201d he explained. \u201cHaving said that, we should not limit this expansion of access to general elections alone, which already have the highest voter turnout.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">S.15, the universal ballot mailing bill, has been signed into law!<\/p>\n<p>Once again <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/VT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#VT<\/a> is leading the nation.
