Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum to Open Voting by Mail Exhibition

National Postal Museum

Voting by mail did not start during the Covid-19 pandemic. It began in various forms during the Civil War when soldiers could not get home to vote and it picked up steam again during World War II for the same reason. Mail has been and continues to be a method for providing citizens with access to election information and materials. Today, every state has some form of voting by mail. The National Postal Museum’s exhibition “Voting by Mail: Civil War to Covid-19” explores the significant role of voting by mail in America’s democracy. Over time, legislation for both military and civilian voting using the mail has been shaped by events and politics with provisions added, removed and amended. On view Saturday, Aug. 24, through Feb. 23, 2025, “Voting by Mail” invites visitors to explore the changing logistical and political reasons for the various ways mail has been part of the election process, and how it continues to define where, when and how Americans vote in elections. Early methods for absentee voting that used the mail enabled military members to participate in elections when wartime deployments took them away from their polling precincts. The Civil War and World War II caused many states to temporarily establish or expand absentee voting for significant numbers of voters in the military. Allowances for civilians voting absentee grew in the early 20th century and in 1901 Kansas became the first state to permit voting by mail but limited this to railroad employees traveling for work. Since the 1980s, in addition to in-person voting, some jurisdictions, including eight states and the District of Columbia, have instituted all-mail voting with the automatic distribution of ballots to registered voters. The public health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic brought about temporary procedures, new laws and debates over using the mail for voting. Objects on display focus on the early history of voting by mail in the U.S. and ways the mail is used in modern elections. A Civil War envelope for mailing soldiers’ votes on a tally sheet enabled deployed military service members to participate in the Ohio state election of 1864. World War II absentee voting materials developed for U.S. Armed Forces, including the design of a blank ballot allowed the government to distribute them before specific candidate names became available, thus accommodating weeks-long mailing time for U.S. forces overseas. Examples of modern election mail including an absentee ballot, an envelope for a mail-in ballot, an official election information guide, and notices announcing elections. “We are excited to present the role of mail in U.S. elections for government representatives serving the American public,” said Elliot Gruber, director of the museum. “The history of mail as an official conduit of election information and election voting materials has long been part of our nation’s history.” The exhibition is supported by public and exhibition programming, as well as educational resources for teachers. A special website makes available the stories, themes and historical artifacts presented in the exhibition. About the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum The National Postal Museum is devoted to presenting the colorful and engaging history of the nation's mail service and showcasing one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of stamps and philatelic material in the world. It is located at 2 Massachusetts Ave. N.E., Washington, D.C., across from Union Station. The museum is currently open Friday through Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information about the Smithsonian, call (202) 633-1000.

Former U.S. Comptroller General Walker Elected Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation Chairman

Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation

The Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation (FFSF), a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to restoring fiscal sanity and sustainability in Washington, D.C., today announced the election of former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker as its Chairman. Walker and the entire Board are committed to securing a sustainable financial future for America and all Americans by advocating for a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that is ratified by State Conventions of pledged delegates like the 21st Amendment. The FFSF Board is comprised of esteemed leaders, including a former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a former state Attorney General, distinguished economic scholars, political leaders, and other thought leaders. The foundation’s founder, David Biddulph, tirelessly works to preserve the American Dream for his granddaughters and future generations, free from the burden of a crippling national debt. “FFSF is empowering citizens to shape our nation's financial future. We're advocating for a Fiscal Responsibility Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” explained David Biddulph. “Traditional attempts to control government growth and debt have failed, making our mission more critical than ever. We are thrilled to have Dave Walker serve as our Chairman in these essential efforts.” Dave Walker is a seasoned public servant with a distinguished career spanning multiple presidential administrations from Reagan to the current Administration. He has received three Presidential appointments from Presidents Reagan, Bush (41), and Clinton with unanimous confirmation by the U.S. Senate each time. Walker has served as CEO of three federal agencies, two non-profits, and as a Partner and Global Managing Director for Arthur Andersen. His extensive board and advisory committee experience includes Social Security and Medicare, the United Nations, the Defense Business Board, and No Labels. Article V of the Constitution provides a pathway for change through a Convention of States, initiated by two-thirds of the states and ratified by three-quarters of the states. Despite the support of more than 34 states beginning in 1979, Congress has failed to act. Consequently, FFSF is pursuing legal action against Congress to compel action and is seeking a legislative fix introduced in Congress last year (H.C.R. 24) to mandate that Congress fulfill its Article V obligations. “The ticking federal debt bomb threatens our collective future. Failure to act will have serious adverse consequences for our economic security, national security, international standing, and domestic tranquility over time," Walker said. A Constitutional amendment is the only way to force current and future Congresses to restore fiscal sanity and sustainability." "The federal government just passed $35 trillion in debt, up from $5.7 trillion in 2000 and less than $1 trillion in 1979. Washington has lost control of the nation’s finances. It’s time for a Fiscal Responsibility Constitutional Amendment," Walker continued. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Dave Walker or another FFSF spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Federal Fiscal Sustainability Foundation Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com
