Oct. 14 vote-by-mail panel & a new proposition song!

October 13, 2014


Hi Folks,

The election season is in full swing and we are excited for tomorrow's lunchtime panel in Sacramento to discuss what voters need to do to make sure their vote-by-mail ballots get counted. Mindy Romero of the UC Davis California Civic Engagement Project will be presenting new research findings that reveal which types of voters are most and least likely to have their mail ballots rejected. I'll be presenting findings from the California Voter Foundation's August 2014 report on our three-county vote-by-mail study. More details and a link to register are below.

In other news....we are working on producing a new Proposition Song! If you are in the Sacramento area and want to join in on a song performance, we will be playing it on Thursday, Oct. 16th at Old Ironsides, 8:30 p.m. More details as well as the chords and lyrics are posted on my blog.

Also for those who missed it, last week's Secretary of State candidates' debate between Democrat Alex Padilla and Republican Pete Peterson was a lively event which the good folks at UC Berkeley Events recorded and archived on YouTube (it begins about 20 minutes into the recording).
