HOW DOES MAGA WIN???
FUD = Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
Everyone who is paying attention – interested in Democracy and who intends to vote has been deluged with efforts by the MAGA-rats incessantly pushing FUD. That’s how they win.
We overcome FUD with Community, Truth and Knowledge.
Community
People who know you trust you. Talk to them! Be a friend. Encourage your family, friends and acquaintances to vote. Don't be afraid to vote. That is our power, and we need to make sure we use it to counter the FUD.
Join in community actions – No Kings: Vote Early Action - Oct 17.
Call your friends – get out the vote.
After we secure the election
CONGRESS!!! Be vocal with our reps - Mike McGuire and Jared Huffman
Constant Vigilance - NEED PEOPLE to identify when court orders are not obeyed. Call reps if MAGAs ignore court orders
Join the Inland Mendocino Democratic Club – a Progressive Community
Truth
Our elections are secure! Voter ID is assured at registration. Every ballot is signature verified. Our election workers are dedicated professionals whose only goal is to assure that everyone who is eligible to vote can vote safely and confidently. AND that only qualified votes are counted.
The election process is engineered to the highest standards to assure accurate counting.
In California ballots must be counted and reported within 13 days of an election and the count completed and certified within 30 days of the election and state certification 38 days after an election.
ABC, CNN, FOX, et al DO NOT have official results on election night, or even the day after.
