In order to increase voter turnout and win elections, we need to enhance our presence in the polling place. A presence can be accomplished through becoming an Election Worker (paid and trained by DOE) or a Checker/Challenger (volunteer, we are offering training as noted below).
Remember early voting starts on August 31st. Primary Election day is September 13th.
County-Specific:
1. New Castle: no GOP Primaries so only option is becoming Election Worker, or to volunteer to be a Challenger in Kent (some GOP primaries) or Sussex (county-wide Primaries.) For those who wish to travel to Kent or Sussex to volunteer as a challenger there, limited Challenger Training is being offered on Tuesday August 23rd , 12pm-2pm at 160 Peoples Plaza, Newark. Please note that training will be offered again, specifically for New Castle County, in the first half of October for the November election. Be on the lookout.
2. Kent: 7 of the 8 RDs (none in 31st RD) have GOP Primaries at some or all of their Election Districts (Polling Places). Challenger Training is being offered on Saturday August 27th from 2:30 to 4:30 pm in Kent GOP Headquarters, 2151 S. DuPont Highway, Dover. 302/922-1733. Please RSVP to Sherry@goMurph.com or 336 403 6143 so we know we have room. Thanks!
3. Sussex: County-wide GOP Primaries so need Challengers in every polling place. Challenger Training offered on Thursday August 25th, 6 to 8 pm; Saturday August 27th, 10 am to noon, and Tuesday August 30th from 6 to 8 pm, at the Georgetown GOP HQ. Marilyn Booker, Chair of the Sussex County GOP, will conduct the training.
Note: YES, there will be additional statewide Challenger training, likely both in person and via zoom, in early October to prepare for the General Election in November!
Please consider volunteering to be a Challenger so we can help ensure election integrity in Delaware and make sure we get people in office in Delaware and Washington DC who share our views and will protect our rights as guaranteed under the U.S. and Delaware Constitutions, including the all-important right for Delaware to conduct fair elections. Without the right people in office, none of our efforts matter.
