Election Day in Tucson and Pima County – VOTE!

voteHere are five things you need to know about voting today. Tucson Election Day: What you need to know (AZ Daily Star):

1 If you voted early, you can check to see whether your ballot has been received and accepted by visiting the Pima County Recorder’s Office website at recorder.pima.gov and clicking on “Early Ballot Status” or by calling 724-4330. (Please check online first.)

2  If you received a mail-in ballot but didn’t mail it, you can drop it off at a polling place until 7 p.m. Those ballots will be processed on Wednesday. It’s quicker for you and for the election staff if you bring in your ballot from home rather than to vote using a provisional ballot. REMEMBER TO SIGN AND DATE YOUR EARLY BALLOT.

3 To find your assigned polling place, check the sample ballot you received in the mail or click “Polling Location” at the recorder’s website. Polling Locations for the November 3, 2015 Consolidated Election (.pdf).

4 If you’re voting at a polling place, you need to bring government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or a state or tribe ID card. Otherwise, you must present two other forms of ID that list your name and address (that matches your voter registration address), such as a utility bill and a vehicle registration.

The feeling is mutual, Frank

FrankensteinThe Arizona Daily Star’s Tim Steller wrote a tongue-in-cheek column today about former state senator Frank(enstein) Antenori’s “love” for Tucson. Steller: Antenori’s love for Tucson shown in robo-calls.

Everyone knows that this ethically challenged political hack despises the dirty effin’ liberal hippies who live in the blue colony of the City of Tucson. When he was in the state legislature, Antenori sponsored numerous pieces of legislation that sought to micromanage the City of Tucson, as well as Pima County, and to strip local governments of local control in an effort to punish the dirty effin’ liberal hippies who live there, and to subjugate them under the jackboot heel of our right-wing colonial oppressors from the state of Maricopa.

Illegal robocalls being made in Pima County Bonds Election

Screenshot from 2015-10-14 13:33:35Yes on Pima County Bonds has issued an alert regarding robocalls being made to cell phones. This is a violation of federal law. If you have/are receiving this robocall, you can file a complaint. If you receive one of these robocalls to your cell phone, stay on the phone until you get the “paid for by” legal disclaimer, probably at the very end of the call. I have heard from two people who did not stay on long enough to get this information.

Here is the email alert from Yes on Pima County Bonds:

You may have recently received a “robocall” from the opponents of the Pima County Bonds. We are hearing from our supporters that they are receiving these call on their mobile phones. Aside from the misinformation in these calls, it is illegal to make political robocalls to cell phones without the recipient’s prior express consent. You can click here for information from the FCC about this potentially illegal campaign activity.
