Chambliss v. Martin?

YES WE CAN!

Some of the 40 Days staff has relocated to GA as the Peach State prepares for the Dec. 2nd run-off election between Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin. The last time GA had a run-off was 1992.

Now that we are up and running expect regular updates....

Can we help you ?

YES WE CAN!

40 Days has noticed a number of democratic pro-Obama attorneys in the polling places in IA today but not were as friendly as the one in Ames.

Can we look?

YES WE CAN!

On 10/16 at the Northwest Community Center in Des Moines the satellite voting station was serving multiple purposes..... YES WE CAN was really hoping for "I VOTED TODAY" band-aids. Unfortunately, with all the money being spent on these satellite stations the band-aids were line-item vetoed

Voting?

YES WE CAN!

Billy Gene says she wanted to bring the voting out to the people in her mobile park because up to 50% of them are elderly or handicapped. Billie cared enough about her neighbors voting that she knew she could do something to make it easier for them. Billy doesn’t have a car, but she spent the entire morning hurrying around her mobile home park and nearby areas posting “Vote Today” Signs so that her neighbors knew it was time to vote. She was quick to yell at anyone passing by or coming into the center to get their mail that they needed to vote today.

Iowa voter registration laws....

With Love from Rome... P.S. Can we vote?

YES WE CAN!

A concerned citizen from Sioux City, IA made a trip to her auditor's office last week to inquire into some political mailings her family kept receiving. She discovered that several individuals unknown to her or her family had registered to vote using their address in 2004. Even more concerning is the fact that one of these folks, (Iowans love this word) Mr. David Loepp, had already requested and recieved his 2008 absentee ballot via international mail in ROME. Voter fraud in Iowa? Never!

Remember why?

At Simpson College last week the co-president for the student democrats wanted to make sure the voiceless had a voice. How does one do that?

1)Take pictures of the voter roll
2) Wear campaign buttons and stickers into the polling place
3) Stand in line with them so you can continually remind them they have a right to be heard
4) All the above

Thanks EJ!

Throw it away?

With all these allegations of voter fraud breaking on a daily basis everyone can rest assure that ballot security and fraud prevention is of the upmost importance at satellite voting locations in Iowa. Consider the picture as proof.

*The card board box in this picture was actually the ballot box for Drake University satellite voting location.*

Mobile Home Voting?

2008-10-15T22:25:00.000-05:00

YES WE CAN!

Tomorrow Johnson County will open a satellite voting station at the Iowa City Mobile Home Community Center. YES WE CAN has only one question would voting at a mobile home park be considered curb-side voting under Iowa law?

Can true American heroes give blood and vote in the same day?

2008-10-15T22:14:00.001-05:00

YES WE CAN!

Tomorrow in Des Moines at the Northwest Community Center true heroes can give blood and vote in the same small space. An observant "observer," and friend of YES WE CAN, was at this location and noticed the Blood Drive Tomorrow ads and asked the poll workers. (after voting was over of course so they didn't interfere or intimidate voters.)

No fear there will be assistance available for those voters who are a little lightheaded or passed out from giving blood. (Just make sure you designate this person and sign the forms before you give blood.)
