URGENT: Voter suppression in Arizona

from Adam Luna, America's Voice Education Fund

Election day was over a week ago, but officials in Arizona still haven't counted all of the votes. Right now, over 324,000 votes - many of which were cast by Latino Arizonans -- still remain uncounted.

That just might be enough votes to swing the outcome of close races in the state. But Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett might call this election without counting them.

Tell Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett that every vote must be counted.

The extremist politicians who run Arizona know that their days are numbered. Our movement for citizenship is winning across the nation, so the extremists are pulling out all the stops to repress the vote.  We can't let Arizona officials disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people for temporary partisan gain.

Whether or not you live in Arizona, please tell Secretary Bennett to ensure that every vote is counted no matter what.

Advocates on the ground are doing an amazing job of putting pressure on local county officials, but we need to help them turn up the heat. Next week, we’ll deliver our petitions to Secretary Bennett so he knows the whole country is watching his decision.

Thanks for taking action,
