Voting

The only way we make sure your vote counts and your voice matters is if we continue to elect officials who actually work for us.

and that means getting our little booties to the polls or getting those mail-in ballots turned in make sure you can double check to make sure that your ballot has been counted um and then call to make sure that like if you need to authorize it there's a lot of resources on our discord if you go to vote Vote.org. You'll find a bunch of resources there to help you out.

But please, please, please, please, please vote and vote informed.

Sexy people vote.

And then we're expecting over a million people to vote on Election Day on the 7th of November.

Carla Kane says people can find their nearest voting place at vote.nz or by calling 0800 36 76 56.

The Maraetai Coast Guard says a 10-second phone call was enough to lead rescuers to five people in the water after their boat sank in the Hauraki Gulf yesterday.

Police were alerted to the stricken vessel on the eastern side of Pōnui Island near Auckland.

So we have some voting places that are open right through into the early evening and others that are open earlier.

It just depends on the circumstances in the community.

So I think the key thing is check on our website, vote.nz, or call our 800 number to find where your nearest voting place is.

We're going to have posters up in supermarkets and we'll be advertising in community newspapers as well.

And then if you've got an EasyVote card, take that along.

And I tell you, I always talk about Florida first, because what happens in Florida usually filters all over the rest of the country.

And the group is the Florida League of Republican Voters.

And you can find it online with FLORV.org. And I suggest you go there and read the information that is there and join if you believe that that the Republican Party is the answer, which I do, because the Democrat Party is communist and I will never vote for a communist.

And if you believe that the Republican Party is your answer, then join with Robin and join the FLORV.org.

Thank you for having me, Karen.

I'm not so sure that other groups have tried and failed.

What we envision the Florida League of Republican Voters to be is a voter-led movement.

And I don't think there's ever been one like that in Florida, focusing on Republican voters.

So we're – whether you call it late afternoon or evening drive, we're on 4 to 6.

I am a former speaker of the Missouri House, and I want to talk to you a minute about the importance of – Voting.

The election is in eight days.

Many of you may have already voted here in Missouri because we have two weeks of early voting.

We had Roland Turner, R.D. Turner, on this show.

You did? Yeah, yeah.

And when he wrote this song for Voting for an Outlaw, it was about President Trump.

And, yeah, it's pretty cool.

So we have some voting places that are open right through into the early evening and others that are open earlier.

It just depends on the circumstances in the community.

Be sure to join Stephanie for that conversation.

Tomorrow on The Sound of Ideas, we feature a major project that's part of our Listen, Engage, Vote initiative called A Slice of Politics with Morning Edition host Amy Eddings.

She first spoke with voters in the Mahoning Valley in 2024 ahead of the presidential election.

Now she brings those voters back for a conversation ahead of the midterms to learn what's top of mind and what's changed for them in the last two years.

Where is that supposed to be? I knew you were going to ask.

I know, right? Because you know how much I love the Mobile Voting Center.

It's like one of my faves.

It's going to be up in Marana on October 27th from 10 to 3 at the Marana Aquatic and Recreation Center.

But I do think that the frame, how to go about coordinating and evaluating and assigning value, and therefore how you should use the yardstick to create a decision, I think that, in my opinion, should be, should be, it isn't, but this is my recommendation based on something Rav Amitel taught me.

But beforehand, the whole premise of this conversation is that you're, Vote is based on values, and therefore you have to learn how to ordinate the values.

And there are many values swirling, and I'll talk about them and how to ordinate them.

But many people will claim legitimately, and I'm thinking about that also, that two other factors have to be taken into account.
