I'm a poll challenger in Los Lunas, NM. Rural
republican county that has picked the winning candidate correctly since 1952. What I've seen today:
1. Fewer voters than expected. Many early votes cast, but Republicans expected to vote en masse today is not happening yet.
2. Several first time voters in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. They appear to be Biden voters. Exciting!
3. Like having good "gaydar," it seems very easy to infer voter preference by dress, covid conformity, demeanor, and the company they keep. This worries me because it makes it easier for republicans to cherry pick who to challenge or harass.
4. One voter who was trying to vote multiple times.
I expected much higher turnout here today. The fact that it is low is a good sign for Biden.
Virtual Phone Banking in Valencia County & Why This is an Important County
Hi fellow Dems!
My partner and I are hosting Virtual Phone Banking events every Thursday of this month at 6 pm. You can be part of this important venture.
DID YOU KNOW that Valencia County has more registered Democrats than Republicans? Then, why do Republicans win more often than not in our little corner of the state? The reason is because too many Democrats fail to vote! If everyone who is registered to vote as a Democrat in Valencia County did so, we would win every election.
OUR GOAL is to call as many Democrats in Valencia County as possible before Election Day to GOTV. And YOU CAN HELP!
Follow the link below and register to participate in our virtual phone banking event any or all Thursdays in October from 6 - 8 pm. All you need is a computer (to Zoom) and a phone (to make calls). If you can spare a couple of hours, we could sure use your help.
Thank you for supporting our efforts to ensure a Biden/Harris LANDSLIDE in the 2020 election!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey & Kenny
