[Lwvcnmtopics] League of Women Voters of Central New Mexico Updates

[kwentworth17 at comcast.net]

Hello League members-

 

We hope you are safe and healthy during this long summer. We will have a
unit meeting at noon on July 9 for all members who are willing to join us on
Zoom. We will have a panel of speakers to talk about the decisions made at
the U.S. League of Women Voters virtual convention this week. That will be a
great way to catch up with our national agenda and to start thinking about
where we fit in the national priorities.

 

We also wanted to share a new study of our primary election problems that
has just been released by the UNM School of Social Policy. It looks and what
went wrong during the primary and suggests changes that might be made during
the next legislative session in January. It points out specific problems in
Sandoval County with allowing tribal members to vote and a possible
solution. It also suggests a solution for everyone who didn't get their
absentee ballot back to the Bernalillo County Clerk in time for it to be
counted.

 

League members are active currently on the Voter Guide. We are preparing
questions for the candidate for November and Mary Wilson at t3wilson at aol.com
<mailto:t3wilson at aol.com>  is looking for volunteers to help call candidates
and work on ballot and bond questions and the informational section on how
people can vote in November. This is all work that can be done virtually to
protect those who are still social distancing. We will do an online and
printed version of the Voter Guide for the November election.

 

We hope to see you soon, even if it is only on Zoom. I'll send out the
invitation closer to the meeting.

 

Karen Wentworth

Co-President, LWVCNM
