THURSDAY UPDATE: 2 Great Exchanges, 1 Downer

Dr. Eric Meyer, candidate re-election to the AZ House of Representatives.

First the bad news.  A lady called in to update our conversation from yesterday.  She had inadvertently checked the "non-citizen" box on a summons for jury duty, so the county had sent her a letter canceling her voter registration.  She went in today to try to vote early, and nearly failed.  She did put in a provisional ballot, but doubts that it'll count.  Moral of the story: Voting and jury service are both rights and obligations of living in our democracy.

Now the good news.  I spoke to a lady who lives in the outer region of the county, nowhere near any of our six branch offices.  She had called in because she's heard of polls showing that the President has dropped alot. She definitely doesn't want him to be a one-termer, but both she and her husband have mobility problems.  So I set them up on virtual phone-banking --a win-win-win situation.

The other good news is that I heard from friends who live in Northern California and have voted early. They're going to be in Phoenix Nov. 5, 6 and 7, and asked if they could help us Get Out The Vote.  Who am I to deny them their pleasure?!
