Historically, Democrats lose mid-term elections because they don’t vote. So let’s change that in 2022. The Primary Election in Arizona is Tuesday, August 2. The General Election is Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Visit Plan Your Vote covers everything you need to know about the voting rules where you live, including registration, mail-in voting, changes since 2020, and more. To help plan our votes, we need to recognize key races in Arizona. While in office, Republican Governor Ducey degraded our schools, supported voter suppression, and signed laws to hurt women’s and LGBTQ rights — to name a few of the pains he caused us. [...]

As the 2022 election season draws closer and the so-called majority party in the U. S. Congress seems frozen by the incredibly bad behavior of the senior senator from Arizona accompanied by the fossil fuel-loving senator from West Virginia. It appears to me that the cavalry will not ride to the Democratic Party’s rescue. It will be up to us at local levels to get voters out and count the votes fairly. Because lawyer time moves exceedingly slower than the election calendar is moving, the possibility is slim that legal efforts and judicial action will protect our voting and election [...]

Attention all Democrats: the Pima Supervisors need to hear from you! The Pima County Board of Supervisors will vote on establishing vote centers and automating pollbooks at their Tuesday, February 15th meeting. As an already well-established practice in 11 other counties, voting centers are inherently more accessible. "This technology would enable any Pima County voter to vote anywhere in the entire county. That means if they were up on Mount Lemmon on Election Day they could vote there even if they lived here in midtown," said Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly. Vote Centers are more securePima County voters can cast their ballot at any Vote CenterConvenient for rural and urban [...]

Right-wing state legislators are attacking our freedom to vote. Already, they have proposed nearly 100 voter suppression bills, and 16 of them will be heard in committees this week. Republican legislators fear losing their one-vote majority in both legislative chambers, and they are working overtime to jam through ever more extreme legislation. It is within our power to stop them. (See below)  Ezra Levin. Register for a special call with Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, co-founders of Indivisible, just for Arizona. Click HERE to sign up.

2001 has passed into 2002. The first mid-term election of the Biden-Harris administration looms ever closer, and it appears that the Democrats in Washington and throughout the nation are living up to Will Rogers' description when he said, "I belong to no organized political party; I am a Democrat." In 2022, this is no longer funny. As things look to me, the Democrats are the only political force that stands for an effective democracy. At the same time, the Republican Party seems dead set on continuing the Trump administration's crusade to scrap our democracy and replace it with an autocracy [...]
