‼️ Educational Thread Alert ‼️

Have you wondered how we make sure our voting equipment is functioning properly before an election? We test them! A lot. Here's how that process works 👇 The process starts by getting some test ballots ready! We must mark ballots in a way that produces unique, pre-determined results for each candidate in each race. For the General Election, this means that we needed to mark 55 ballots for each style, over 4,500 ballots total! Image

THREAD ALERT:

We're seeing some confusion about the Countywide Mailing that is hitting everybody's mailboxes right now, so we thought we'd help answer some questions you might have: Image 1. This is legit! It's part of the yearly voter reg. maintenance we must conduct. Most years we do it with the Post Office's National Change of Address program, but this year we did a Countywide Mailing to get voters a copy of their voter registration cards for 2020 elections.

If you’re looking for an example of why it’s so important to look for trusted and verified sources for election information, look no further than this Judicial Watch article about #VoterRegistrations, which is patently false. judicialwatch.org/press-releases… Judicial Watch's numbers include "Inactive"-status voters, ie voters have had mail returned to us and are on the first steps towards cancellation. If they were to show up to vote on Election Day, they would have the extra step of providing proof of ID and residency to vote.

People are asking: We're getting calls about a mailing from the "Center for Voter Information." This mailing did NOT come from us. There's nothing fishy - this is a private group that is simply trying to get people registered. Center for Voter Information uses public lists and matches them against voter records to try to find people who are not registered. We don't know exactly what lists or where they get them - we do know the lists have some errors.
