Polk County (IA) Dems will help defeat Joni Ernst
Polk County Dems are the best organized county in Iowa. The Weekly Update is a joy to read...
- More than 90 volunteers called every registered Dem about their voting plan and will follow up for absentee ballots and GOTV.
- More that 150 volunteered will be certified to pick up and deliver absentee ballots.
- There will be a trained poll watcher in every precinct for the first time.
- Staff will be at the county election office inspecting every ballot with errors to see if we can help get them corrected.
- As of last week, our voter registration stations helped add 1,469 new Democrats since August 1. Stations have been set up in every area of the county including at apartment complexes.
- Biden-Harris barn signs are going up in the suburbs thanks to some creative sign makers.
- Community (area) Groups withing the county are doing lit drops, registering voters, and making signs.
- Later this week, wired lockboxes will be provided to all the Community Groups so that they can begin collecting ballots. Well also print signage to let passersby know that were collecting ballots. If they want to host a ballot drive-thru, theyll be able to use it for that, too. These stations and all the volunteers mean we can have a physical presence in up to 17 different places in the county all at the same time.
