Can She Put You To Work As A Poll Greeter?
I bet you are worried about the outcome of the election. I am. Our work is not over. Please let Sally put you to work winning the election.
Here's how to make our team a winner: help us distribute Blue Ballots. Blue Ballots are a half page slate card with early voting information on the back, which we print on blue paper on a half page. This year, we also have 20,000 of a version with full color photographs and 40,000 of a door hanger version.
In previous years we recruited poll greeters who would approach voters at the polls to offer a blue ballot. In the middle of the pandemic we advocate a more socially distanced role. Instead of approaching voters with literature we recommend that interactions be limited to offering blue ballots from a distance like a carnival barker, with masks and social distancing.
This year Sally Meserole has once again agreed to schedule volunteers to staff polling places to distribute Blue Ballots. With 9 Early Voting sites and 17 days of early voting, staffing the sites is a real challenge, so we need you. Also, this year we are asking volunteers to participate in a one hour voter protection training, so they can respond appropriately in the event of misbehavior at polling places. Sign up here to volunteer to be a Poll Greeter.
