We need every vote!
Published: November 5, 2010
As you probably know by now, the fate of Proposition 203, the Arizona
Medical Marijuana Act, hangs in the balance. As the counties in the
state conduct counts of late-arriving and provisional ballots, fewer
than 4,000 votes separate the Yes and No sides!
At a time when
every vote truly matters, we need your help. There are some people in
the state who cast "conditional provisional" ballots on Tuesday. This
means that they intended to vote in-person on Tuesday, but did not have
proper identification on them. They were told that they could fill-in a
ballot, but in order for it to be counted, they would need to return to
their county elections office with proper ID by the close of business on
Tuesday, November 9.
If you attempted to vote on Tuesday but did
not have proper identification, please go to your county elections
office to complete the process and have your ballot counted. This is
truly a situation where every vote counts. If you fail to have your
ballot counted, you may contribute to a very narrow defeat for the
initiative. Here is a web site to visit if you need to find your local
elections office:

If
you know anyone who tried to vote on Tuesday but did not have proper
identification on them, please forward this e-mail to them immediately.
In fact, feel free to forward this along to everyone you know, with a
note saying, "Do you know anyone who might have tried to vote on
Tuesday, but didn't have ID with them?"
Please note that this
need to go to the county elections office does not apply to people who
cast provisional ballots because they were at the wrong polling
location. It is just for people who did not have proper identification
with them.
Thank you so much for helping the campaign. The worst
thing we could imagine is losing this election by 10 or 20 votes and
knowing that 100 or more people could have cast a vote for the
initiative just by stopping by their county elections office.
With your help, we will win this election and medical marijuana will be legal in Arizona!
