P.S. If you never personally submitted an APPLICATION for Absentee Ballot...

If you were encouraged to Vote By Mail (aka Absentee), but you never personally completed and submitted an APPLICATION for Absentee Ballot, you should not be expecting an Absentee Ballot in your mail box. And, at this point, even if you think you applied for an Absentee Ballot, but have not received one yet, you need to ask the County Clerk's office to check their records. Call them. Better yet, make the trip downtown on Monday. Don't wait until Tuesday when the lines will be verrrry long! Do it, 'cause your vote is at stake and so is Barack's election! You need to understand your alternatives and vote accordingly.

This recommendation is from me personally, Gaye Pollit; it is not a message from official Obama campaign.

Track your absentee ballot.

If you requested an Absentee Ballot, track its progress -- most importantly, see if the completed ballot you returned was ACCEPTED. The link below works...but is not fool-proof. If your ballot information does not show up, get in touch with the County Clerk immediately.

Please note the "s" in the https -- this is a secure site!

You can also use the same link to:

• Verify that you are registered to vote on Tuesday (if you have not Early Voted).
• Help your family, friends.
• Help anyone you may have registered if you kept a list of their names.
  

***If you have a problem, call the Santa Fe County Clerk's Bureau of Elections. Better yet, go in person to the office at the corner of Grant & Palace. And please email me with full details about any problems that you have. Gaye

Don't like to canvass or phone? Consider this..

One hour a week can make a huge difference toward Barack's election. If you can't canvass or phone or work on election day, consider these options:

• Invite undecided friends to a campaign office.
• Bring beverages, healthy snacks or fruit to an office for the volunteers.
• Wear an Obama button.
• Make a sign for your yard if none are available to buy.
• Come to an office and ask how you can help.

Another way to contribute -- Feed the staff!

The Field Organizers in the campaign field offices work long, long hours each day...18-hour days are common! We need to help them stay strong & vital. How would you like to provide meals and healthy snacks for these staffers?

Whether cooked in your kitchen or purchased pre-prepared and delivered, the staff will be deeply appreciative. We’re asking for volunteers to supply/order/deliver a meal to the campaign offices.

Join this project. Contact Cynthia to discuss. Also ask her about Election Day Comfort Food for voters standing in line at the polls.
