Fellow Republicans,
 
I have good news and bad news. Actually, I have great news and frightening news. 
 
Here’s the great news:
 
As of today, Republicans are dominating Democrats in early voting in Orange County. Currently, 19,000 more Republicans have turned in their ballots than Democrats. I’m happy to say that this trendline is not constrained to just Orange County. Statewide, California’s Republican voters lead Democrats in early returns by over 30,000 votes. Republicans are more united than ever in our desire to have our voice heard in this state. Whether it be for the Presidential primary, our many congressional elections, or our critical county and local races, Republicans are fired up. 
 
Now here’s the frightening news:
 
The Democrats know that among the millions of Californians that receive absentee ballots, there are hundreds of thousands of Orange County residents who have not yet voted. With the help of their Presidential Primary candidates, they are amassing armies of volunteers that will most certainly be making phone calls to OC voters, knocking on their doors, and yes, harvesting their ballots. Just this morning Bernie Sanders himself came to Santa Ana to lead a Get out the Vote Rally. 
 
Here’s the very first line of his campaign’s event invitation:
 
“If you vote-by-mail, be sure to bring your ballot with you so we can cast our votes for Bernie together”
 
Friends, we can’t let socialists like Bernie Sanders steal our momentum. We need your help. 

Here are two ways that you can support the Republican Party of Orange County this weekend:
 
1. VOTE
 
If you still have your absentee ballot and you intend to use it, don’t wait around until the last minute. Take some time this weekend to fill it out and encourage your friends and family to do it with you. Voting early ensures that your ballot is received on time and gives you the peace of mind that your vote will be counted in a timely manner. If you prefer voting at a vote center, you can find your nearest location below.
