Why aren’t all of the ballots processed at the same time?  Visit the SB County Election link for an explanation:  https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/2f4fd4dc-805e-4d40-8819-c9938c346c11

What is a Provisional Ballot?:  Provisional ballots ensure that voters are not excluded from the voting process due to an administrative error. They provide a fail-safe mechanism for voters who arrive at the polls on Election Day and whose eligibility to vote is uncertain.  If their eligibility cannot be established, the ballot will not be counted.

When there is uncertainty about a voter’s eligibility—the potential voter’s name is not on the voter rolls, a required identification document isn’t available or another issue arises—the election official is required to offer the voter a provisional ballot instead of a regular ballot. Standards for handling provisional ballots are determined by state law.  Voters often need to be their own biggest advocate when it comes to provisional ballots — following up with local elected officials to confirm they have looked into their qualifications and have counted their vote.  There is an option in California to be notified when your vote is received and counted by the elections office.   It can be requested on the registration form or online.  Online:  https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-status/wheres-my-ballot

In nearly all of the states, after being cast, the provisional ballot is kept separate from other ballots until after the election. A determination is then made as to whether the voter was eligible to vote, and therefore whether the ballot is to be counted. Generally, a board of elections or local election officials will investigate the provisional ballots within days of the election. If their eligibility cannot be established, the ballot will not be counted.  Since this is an additional administrative step, a large number of provisional ballots can increase costs for jurisdictions.

DEMOCRATS DELIVER!!!

DEMOCRATS DO DELIVER,  and we should shout it from the rooftops! Here’s a long list as of Nov. 2022,   in case you haven’t been able to keep track!

Follow the White House on Facebook for ongoing updates: https://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse/

White House website:  https://www.whitehouse.gov/therecord/

– On health care, the bill enables the federal health secretary to negotiate the prices of some drugs for   Medicare.  It also caps out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for people on Medicare at $2,000, effective in 2025.  The bill also provides a three-year extension on health care subsidies in the Affordable Care Act that were originally passed in last year’s pandemic relief bill.

– The sweeping bill allocates more than $300 billion to be invested in energy and climate reform. It’s the largest federal clean energy investment in U.S. history, It includes $60 billion for boosting renewable energy infrastructure in manufacturing, like solar panels and wind turnbines, and includes tax credits for electric vehicles and measures to make homes more energy efficient.  The bill is expected to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 40% based on 2005 levels, by the end of the decade.

– On taxes, the legislation establishes a 15% minimum tax for corporations making $1 billion or more in income, which is estimated to bring in over $300 billion in revenue.

– The Chips and Science Act, providing more than $200 billion to boost domestic production of semiconductor computer chips and reduce U.S. reliance on overseas manufacturing of the components that power nearly all facets of modern technology.  The legislation was a top priority for the Biden administration, with top officials warning lawmakers ahead of its passage that failure to act would have severe national security and economic consequences.

– Two new laws will extend the time period prosecutors have to prosecute individuals who committed fraud through the Paycheck Protection Program or Covid-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, extending the statute of limitations for criminal and civil enforcement against a borrower to 10 years.

– Organized NATO to stand up against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and inspired Sweden and Finland to join NATO. These actions strengthened NATO, which has now worked out a 22 million ton grain deal to enable Ukraine to export grain to developing nations.
– Passed a 1.9 million American Rescue Plan to rebuild the economy after the Pandemic creating 10 million new jobs and lowering unemployment to the rate of 3.6%.
– Launched programs to untangle logistics at US Ports and increase truckers in this country in an effort to resolve issues with our supply chain.
– Signed the largest bi-partisan Gun Safety Bill in 30 years!
– Signed a bi-partisan bill to resolve the issue of challenges with Baby Formula distribution.
– Shepherded and signed a 1.2 Trillion bi-partisan Infrastructure Bill to invest in bridges, roads, public transportation, clean energy, and broadband.
– President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the U.S. Department of Education have announced a three-part plan to help working and middle-class federal student loan borrowers transition back to regular payment as pandemic-related support expires. This plan includes loan forgiveness of up to $20,000. For details on the plan visit this official site:    https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief-announcement/

Re-elect Gloria Soto to the Santa Maria City Council!

Endorsed by the Democratic Party, Incumbent Gloria Soto,  Santa Maria City Council, District 3,  has launched her re-election campaign for 2022.   Gloria made history in 2018 as the youngest woman ever to be elected to the Santa Maria City Council. During the last 4 years, Gloria has been a champion of Democratic values – fighting climate change, protecting renters, and supporting working families. Now, Gloria is being challenged, and Democrats need to rally behind her! Join us next weekend in Santa Maria to kick off the campaign!  Email our North County Democratic Field Organizer at  jovany@sbdems to volunteer. 

Remember,  while only residents of a district can vote for their district representative, votes by  the city council often affects the entire city population, not just one district.  Your support for Gloria is also support for your own interests.

Look up your Santa Maria City District by address:  https://santamariacity.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=a12d2f43a91e4d869de09458e15cf34a

Councilwoman Soto has been a fierce advocate for women’s rights, racial justice and equality, affordable housing, farm worker’s rights,  LGBTQ rights,  Senior citizen’s rent stabilization, low-cost clean energy,  the COVID-19 emergency eviction moratorium, and for veterans, many of whom are in the oppressed category when they become civilians because of systemic racism.

Ms. Soto has been speaking up for the oppressed and under served people in all of the community since she was elected to her 4 year term in 2018.   “If all of us are not equal under the law, enforcement is subjective, and none of us can be guaranteed equality“.

Santa Maria has made great strides for north county home buyers, including being a partner in the “Workforce Homebuyer Down Payment Assistance Loan Program” that  helps local low-income households purchase their first home in Santa Barbara County.

5-4 Supreme Court Conservative Majority overturns Roe V Wade on June 24, 2022. 4 men and 1 woman stripped away federal Constitutional reproductive rights of American women and returned abortion decisions to the states. At least 28 states have immediately enforceable draconian anti abortion laws.

 Planned Parenthood health centers in Santa Maria, and all California clinics, are still open and will continue to provide a full range of sexual and reproductive health care services.   Women’s Health Care in Santa Maria, CA:  https://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/california/santa-maria/93454/santa-maria-center-2250-90170/womens-health

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court has eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade, returning decisions to the states. This dangerous outcome will open the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion.  With the Supreme Court stripping Americans of their federal constitutional rights, dozens of states can quickly move to ban abortion. We’ve already seen many states pass bans; this decision will fuel the efforts of lawmakers to ban abortion across the country.  Liberal Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented and Chief Justice John Roberts abstained.

March for Our Lives in Santa Maria

March for Our Lives 2022 was held in downtown Santa Maria,  June 11th. Concerned and outraged residents, from Santa Maria, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and surrounding areas, participated in the nationwide demonstration against gun violence. Chairs with the names of each of the 19 children and 2 teachers, murdered in the Uvalde, TX, mass shooting on May 24th, were lined up facing Broadway. Several local families who have experienced the loss of loved ones due to gun violence spoke. Leaders of local groups encouraged everyone to stay involved and continue as part of an ongoing movement.
