SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM CHRIS ELLIOTT, CHAIR, TRAVIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Dear Fellow Democrats:
We're in the homestretch for the November 7 elections. Our candidates are fighting the good fight and we're seeing tons of Democratic momentum in Travis County. But I refuse to rest until 7 p.m. on November 7, and I hope you will do the same. We can never sit back and say "we've done enough" when it comes to working for our candidates, both local and statewide, and we must give every ounce of spare energy that we can to this effort. It's that important.
Please join us this weekend for two fun events that will double as GOTV rallies for the Democratic faithful. Read more in the newsletter to follow about Tejano Blues Saturday night at the Victory Grill and Red State Blues Sunday afternoon and evening at Threadgill's South on Riverside at Barton Springs. Both promise to be entertaining events and will be great mixes of politics and music. Come take some time away from campaigning and enjoy some relaxed Democratic fellowship and great blues and Tejano music.
Thank you for all you do, and let's keep the faith and work hard through November 7.
Democratically yours,
Chris Elliott

EARLY VOTING ENDS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3!!! THAT'S TOMORROW!
Early voting began on Monday, October 23 and will run through TOMORROW.
YOU MAY VOTE AT ANY EARLY VOTING LOCATION!!!
Special Message about the Congressional Races in District 21 and 25!!!
If a voter selects straight-party ticket for the rest of the statewide races, you still have to check a box specifically to select a candidate for the U.S. congressional race. If no box is checked in that race, the ballot won't register a vote for any congressional candidate.
Special Message about the Governor's Race!!!
There is no runoff in this 4 - way race. Whoever gets the most votes wins. This means that the winner can become Governor with only 35% of the vote. So make sure that you vote for the ONLY candidate who can beat Rick Perry...Chris Bell!

TRAVIS COUNTY REPUBLICANS DISSEMINATE INACCURATE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION
TO ELECTION JUDGES
Below is the text of a press release that TCDP sent to all media outlets in response to a separate training session for Republican election judges that the Travis County Republican Party held.
TRAVIS COUNTY REPUBLICANS DISSEMINATE INACCURATE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION TO ELECTION JUDGES
Austin, TX -- The Chair of the Travis County Democratic Party, Chris Elliott, has called upon the Travis County Republican Party to correct and/or withdraw inaccurate and misleading information that it provided to election judges in Travis County. At issue is a document entitled "Ballot Integrity Task Force Guide" that the Travis County Republican Party, in cooperation with the Republican Party of Texas, disseminated in an election judge training session that it conducted on its own last week, separate and apart from the County's official training sessions for election judges. A copy of this document is attached hereto for reference, as well as a list of the most egregious errors and misleading passages with explanations of why they are inaccurate and misleading.
"I have serious concerns about this document, and I have brought them to the attention of our County Clerk, Dana DeBeauvoir, who oversees elections in this county," said Elliott. "Ms. DeBeauvoir shares my concerns that this inaccurate and misleading information could lead to problems on Election Day if the judges to whom the information was provided follow its directives." Elliott has also brought his concerns to the attention of Travis County Republican Party Chair Alan Sager and has asked that the errors be corrected. "This is a very serious matter as it could result in folks not being allowed to vote on Election Day even though they are qualified in every respect to cast their vote. I call on the Travis County Republicans to take immediate action," Elliott continued.
The Travis County Democratic Party will be sending letters to all election judges and alternate judges in the county to clear up any confusion that may have been created by the Republicans' document. In addition, Ms. DeBeauvoir has referred this matter to Roger Williams, Texas Secretary of State, the state's highest election official, for possible further action.
###
Most Egregious Errors
1.. On the third page, under the bold heading "Provisional Voting (TAC 81.172)"
This section purports to deal with situations where a voter "must" cast a provisional ballot. The fourth bullet point states that if a registered voter shows up at a precinct different from the one where they are registered, they must vote a provisional ballot. This is not true. Election judges are supposed to make an effort to direct such a voter to the proper precinct. It may be that the voter decides not to go to a different precinct and would prefer to vote a provisional ballot where he or she is, but the voter is not required to vote a provisional ballot, as the language herein suggests, just by virtue of appearing at the wrong precinct.
2.. On the fifth page, under the bold heading "Quick Summary of the Provisional Voter Process"
The second bullet point under that heading states that if a voter does not (sic) personal identification or refuses to produce it, the voter "is permitted to vote, but the vote is not counted."
This is factually inaccurate. If this scenario arises, the voter is allowed to vote a provisional ballot. Whether or not the vote is counted is up to the ballot board. If an election judge were to follow your advice here and tell a potential voter that his or her vote "will not be counted," this may very well discourage the potential voter from casting a provisional ballot.
3.. On the seventh page, under the bold heading "Voting Irregularities to look for"
The sixth paragraph down suggests that a voter appearing at a polling location "without photographic identification" constitutes a voting irregularity. This is, once again, factually inaccurate. Many voters appear at the voting location without photographic identification and are not required to produce photographic identification if they have another accepted form of I.D. or if they have their voter registration card.
4.. On the flow chart, which is the next to the last page in the materials that I have:
If a voter does as you suggest at the top of the left hand column of your chart and he or she presents a voter registration card with a date that is not current, your flow chart, by following it to the right, suggests that the voter must then present a different form of "valid ID" in order to vote. Again, factually inaccurate. A voter registration card with an expired date is considered by the County to be a valid form of ID in and of itself so that if that voter's name appears on the voter list, he or she is allowed to vote, period. No provisional ballot required.

TO SUBSCRIBERS WHO USE AOL
AOL has become increasingly difficult for independent Internet services and presence providers like ours to work with. The AOL mail user interface has a "Report Spam" button immediately adjacent to the "Delete" button, and not only does this make it hard for many inexperienced (and elderly) users to avoid hitting the "Report Spam" button, but AOL apparently makes little or no attempt to educate its user base on distinguishing between spam and legitimate list posts to which they have subscribed but may not wish to read.
AOL tracks each "Report Spam" it receives from subscribers. If they receive too many complaints from our service, email will be subject to substantial acceptance delays or rejection by AOL's mail servers.
Each time an AOL user hits the "Report Spam" button on a post from a list hosted by our webhost, we receive a "Client TOS Notification" from AOL. If this happens, you will be automatically unsubscribed from the list.
