Dear Dems,
The time has come to shut down this feed. Today, with the inauguration, we start the work of restoring our Democratic values in our sorely troubled nation.
The @NEKentDems are organized to keep the momentum from our Democratic gains in the last election. Join Us!

@JoeBiden A beautiful, heartfelt ceremony so inspiring. I'm so grateful and confident in our nation's future. Thank you. God bless.

This will be my last post for awhile. I'm headed in new directions now that the campaign for Kent County Commissioner has concluded. Watch for updates after the winter holidays. In the meantime, stay safe and cherish your families. XO deb

So thankful! Companies expected for approval to the Kent County Sustainable Business Park in early 2021. Finalists will be determined in late 2020 with a final recommendation being presented to the Board of Public Works and Kent County BoC in spring 2021.

What happens to a ballot if it’s dropped at the wrong precinct?
First, it won’t be counted. Election officials recommend you go get the ballot from the clerk where you dropped it and take it to the correct clerk, or ask your clerk to spoil your ballot and cast a new one.

Longing for a simpler time and place?

The Great Lakes Barbershop Chorus meets at the Orchard View Church of God at 2777 Leffingwell NE to rehearse. They’ve extended an invitation for the public to feel free to come by and listen to them sing.

What if you haven't received your absentee ballot?

Contact your local clerk and ask about your options. You may need to “spoil” your ballot and request a new one. You can do this in person at your clerk’s office, fill it out there, and turn it in all in one trip.

Do you need a photo ID to vote at the polls?

No. If you have a photo ID, you will be asked to show it to poll workers when you check in. If you do not, you will have to sign an affidavit saying you don’t have a photo ID with you.

[DebHavens_PlainfieldTwpDems @deb_vote]

Can your signature get your AV ballot thrown out?

Not necessarily – or at least it shouldn’t. Gov. Whitmer has signed a bill that requires local clerks to contact voters if there’s a signature mismatch on absentee ballots. Voters will get a chance to correct the problem.

How many people can be inside a polling place at one time?

The Bureau of Elections recommends limiting the number of people inside polling places so that voters and election workers can maintain 6 feet of distance at all times.

MASK UP OR WE SHUT DOWN
Why are schools facing another shutdown due to COVID 19? It’s up to all of us NOT in school. Another great article from the Bridge:

Are voters required to wear masks in polling places?

No, though they are encouraged to do so.

Each precinct will be given masks, gloves and face shields for poll workers and be required to regularly disinfect high-touch surfaces.

Can people carry guns into the polls?
As of now, people can't openly carry within 100 feet of the polls on Election Day. Guns rights groups will argue that in court. People with concealed carry licenses can, unless the school or church polling place has banned the practice.

Joe Biden takes a strong stand on fighting climate change. I stand with him in the defense of our natural resources… And it won’t be the first time or the last.
