IT'S NOT OVER

HELP CURE BALLOTS

It’s not over? What is ballot curing? Although Election Day is over, the results are still not final and therefore several of the races have still not been called – including our LD2 races! Early ballots (those turned in with an envelope) which have something amiss (e.g.: signature mismatch) are put in a stack to be “cured”. The Mission for AZ group has setup some canvass launches and phonebanks to track voters down to let them know their ballot is in limbo before it can be tabulated. There are multiple times to do this from Nov 10th – 15th. Visit: Cure Canvass in North Phoenix! · Mission for Arizona (mobilize.us)

In case you want to call these voters, you can do this with this link: Cure Phonebank in Arizona! · Mission for Arizona (mobilize.us)

If you don’t think this matters, check out the below section as created by former AZ legislator Steve Farley.

2022 AZ LEGISLATIVE BALANCE OF POWER STATS & TRIVIA

From Steve Farley’s Facebook page: “After tonight's counts from Maricopa, which consisted of early ballots dropped before Election Day, and some new data from Pima, things got slightly better for Democrats across the board.

In the legislature, the balance of power is back to what it is now - 31-29 in the House, and 16-14 in the Senate, both under Republican control. The one seat that changes is that Keith Seaman (D) went back in front of Rob Hudelson (R) in House District 17 -- by 12 votes! Don't ever think your vote doesn't matter!”

DONATE TO LD2 AND WIN A GIFT CARD!

If you’re reading this newsletter, you know the importance of voting in all elections and understand the process. However, not all of our LD2 neighbors do, so one of the uses of our funds is for the purpose of creating literature and mailers to help educate the voters of LD2 about the importance of elections – especially down ballot local races. Consider becoming a recurring donor to LD2 and you will be automatically entered to win a gift card for your recurring donation!

Anyone can donate - you don’t have to live in LD2.

How about $22 for LD2 in 2022?

If you have any questions, please contact LD2 Treasurer Truly Bone at Treasurer@azld2dems.org
