Arizona -- the old voters might be mostly republican

Well that might be the good news en?

eh?

Not if they are the only early voters, but over years yes

From Wendy: We must go out and meet people, especially in rural areas. I live in eastern Pierce County, which is semi-rural. Many Trump flags. I am willing to go door-to-door. We also need to listen to folks.

So transparency around redistricting doesn’t apply to the Legislature???

Amicus Machine sounds similar to ALEC for legislators.

As long as that amount of money is being spent on elections- I wonder how any of us can trust what is going on?

That's a case of voting while Black.

You got that right. And being a voting activist while black, too!

Disinforming voters should be considered election fraudf

Along with misinforming voters.

And some of those charged cases were voter fraud by GOP

Most cases of voter fraud were Trump voters.

Inslee wanted to make deliberate misinformation on the part of elected officials that led to violence to be treated as criminal. #5843, but didn’t get out of committee.

That needs to become something voters an vote in - the corrupt elected officials will never support something so ethical.

Governor Youngkin's (R-VA) son tried to vote at age 17 in past election.

Oh - it's ok if you are white or GOP

There’s definite method to the madness - Trump and Republicans have undermined the press to such a point that of course people who “believe” don’t trust claims that there is no real election fraudd

Thanks so much fr all of your hard work, Cyndy

sorry, Cindy, not Cydiy

About Inslee’s bill: While I am for it, there are questions about what is true in any given situation, aren’t there? This is almost totally due to Trump, IMO.

Right, Robert.

I have a 6 pm meeting and have to sign off.

See you next week, Julie!

Take care Julie. Have a good one

Our audit is a safeguard that is absent in states where they don't have marked ballots. An advantage of mailed ballots instead of machine voting.

To some great extent democracy is like religion it requires faith in your fellow participants that everyone will do the right thing when they vote. There is so little voter fraud that the notion that people will do the right things if given a chance should be the hew and cry rom the media. When have you heard a news reporter or when have you read a newspaper article championing the voter doing the right thing?

Percentage is not usually the criteria for ballot checking. They use statistical sampling considerations to arrive at a number to check

Good point, Arnold.

Arnold Byron is absolutely right!!!!
