What an absolutely stellar thread

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

Hi Aubrey!

Thanks for reaching out.

You changed your voter registration on the last day of voter registration (Feb. 20) from your Chandler address to your new Tempe address.

Because early ballots must go out on Feb. 21, your Chandler ballot was already set to go out, and so it did.

Then we sent out a new ballot to your Tempe address when we processed your voter registration modification.

That's why you had to redact out different lengths in the address (because they were sent to different addresses).

You'll also notice that one of packet codes ends in "01" (the one to your old address) and one ends in "02" (the one sent to your new address). As soon as the "02" one goes out, the "01" packet is dead. Meaning even if you sent it back, it wouldn't proceed to signature verification, and it wouldn't be opened. That's how we prevent people from voting twice.

So just use the one with your new address ending in "02" -- that's the only one that will work.

Hope this helps! Have a great night! Happy voting!

UPDATE: Today the Supreme Court rejected the independent state legislature theory, the radical notion that could have undermined voting rights and upended our federal elections.

"Tell him I said he's a good boy," Fed Chair Powell says to Sen. Tillis after Tillis says his dog Gus says hi.

Powell's really leaning into his personality in hearings this week.

A new @CampaignLegal report concludes that the time-honored tradition of awarding campaign donors with ambassadorial positions has continued under the Biden administration, despite the President’s promise to end the practice. https://t.co/EdkB8gQuQu

Dropped off my ballot the #OregonWay this afternoon at a secure election box at my neighborhood library here in SE Portland. Voting by mail or at an official ballot box is safe & easy — and I’m working hard to take this proven system national.

Proponents say open source elections tech means new security features and transparency. What does it take to harness the helpful volunteer contributions, block out malicious saboteurs and keep these projects maintained for the long term?

@TrustTheVote @OSET @OSET_Greg @ElectionBabe @govtechnews @PHLInnovation Would be awesome to see late filing penalties included in any public search database like this, too. But kudos for posting them for the public to review (on this separate page): https://t.co/Uf0WtOmtaS

@TrustTheVote @OSET @OSET_Greg @ElectionBabe @govtechnews This is *so* fantastic. Simple visuals and to the point: follow the money . Access to increased data obviously increases trust, but they launched a community survey to help guide it further.
