#downballots

If Arizona flips this November, it'll be historic — and Trump will be history

This is low-key huge

We got some downballots and ballot initiatives in Arizona for November 2020.

While [Gov.] Ducey isn’t up for re-election until 2022, the state’s voters have a lot of decisions to make: Arizona will vote for a US Senate seat (things are looking good for Democrat Mark Kelly) as well as on a number of major ballot initiatives that could bring very significant changes to what was once known as solid-red territory. One of the initiatives would legalize recreational marijuana; another would make some big reforms to the state’s archaic criminal justice system.

I have completed, sealed, signed, and mailed my Texas absentee ballot

Thanks to my Texas election county office for promptly reissuing my absentee ballot when the first absentee ballot didn't come for 12+ business days. This reissued one came in 4-5 business days after the request. When in doubt, always call your election county officer.

I am proud to announce that my presidential and senate candidates are- ANYWAY, I vetted and bubbled in the names of judges and other downballot candidates. Did I mention that Texas judges are important for voting rights, fighting gerrymandering in the redistricting year of 2021, environmental protections, and other reforms? You better be fighting for those downballots as much as you are fighting for your presidential/senate/house candidates.

One nonpartisan guide I used was Vote411. Otherwise, it can miss a few races in your areas, so I got on my election county site and used their sample ballot and Googled and social media-searched the obscure candidates from there.
