Review of DEC attendance requirements in our by-laws.

Article I, Section 6: “Good attendance shall be prerequisite of continued membership on the COMMITTEE. All requests for excused absences shall be submitted, in writing or by phone call, to the Secretary of the COMMITTEE. Three (3) unexcused absences in one calendar year shall constitute cause for automatic dismissal from the COMMITTEE.”

Several members missed more than three meetings last year, and both meetings so far this year. Please attend the next meeting, or advise if you do not plan to continue as a member of the DEC. We would then have a responsibility to attempt to install a new precinct rep, if available, and meantime, reduce the required quorum for the conduct of business.

Plan for canvassing Feb. 15 and 29, 10-Noon. Meeting at Teen Center 9:45 AM.

Continue discussion on poll watching volunteers: Still need Team Leads for at least three roles:

Team Lead - oversees and coordinates the activities of the entire county team; reports to Brandon Peters. Russ will do if no other volunteer!

Volunteer Lead - recruits and assigns volunteers; reports to Team Lead;

Training Lead - trains Poll Watchers and Poll Observers; reports to Team Lead;

Hotline Lead - manages the county's link(s) to the FDP VoPro Hotline and makes sure that the hotline technology is working correctly for everyone on the county voter protection team; reports to Team Lead; and

Legal Lead - answers election law questions during the election and any recount; may be asked to prepare/file pleadings and go to court on election-related issues (e.g., holding the polls open, enjoining GOP voter intimidation activities, etc.); reports to Team Lead. Ryan Yeary from Caminez firm a strong possibility. If not, Jay Adams?

As of January Meeting: Volunteers for poll watching next November are Gladys Watson, Franklin Brooks, Julie Conley, Russ and Kathy Rothman, and Mae Kyler. Russ will be the lead on this if no one else volunteers. Shelley Watkins and Elizabeth Bevington sent emails to us volunteering to do poll watching with us. Patricia Sharp also contacted us through email to find a volunteer role.

From Brandon Peters on 12/31/19: “Would you please ask the Poll Watcher volunteers to complete the FDP's online interest form at https://www.floridadems.org/voter-protection-interest-form?” He will be conducting a "dry run" of the voter protection effort during the March 2020 Presidential Preference Primary.

Brandon has launched an online training program for voter protection. Access can be requested by email to training@floridadems.org. We need to continue to recruit poll watchers, as Jefferson County as multiple polling locations.

Good Evening Democratic Friends,

If you have not yet identified your county leads for the 2020 voter protection program, the time to do so is NOW! There is not a day to waste.

You can register voters, persuade them to support our great Democratic Party candidates and get out the vote during the election, but it those votes don't count, much of that hard work will come to nothing next year. That's where the Voter Protection Department steps in: Our mission is to make sure that every eligible voter has access to the ballot box. We make sure Democrats compete on a level playing field. We ensure that our nominees will compete in a fair fight.

By way of review, every county will have five "Leads," as follows (listed in order of priority):

Team Lead - oversees and coordinates the activities of the entire county team; reports to me;

Volunteer Lead - recruits and assigns volunteers; reports to Team Lead;

Training Lead - trains Poll Watchers and Poll Observers; reports to Team Lead;

Hotline Lead - manages the county's link(s) to the FDP VoPro Hotline and makes sure that the hotline technology is working correctly for everyone on the county voter protection team; reports to Team Lead; and

Within the next two weeks, please send me the names of the individuals you have identified to be your county's Team, Volunteer and Training Leads. I need to fill those three Lead positions right away.

By the end of 2019, I need you to let me know the names of the people who will be your county's Legal and Hotline Leads.

We will be conducting a "dry run" of the voter protection effort during the March 2020 Presidential Preference Primary. There is a lot to do before then.

Thank you all for your steadfast commitment to our great Democratic Party cause.

Yours very truly,

Brandon Peters

Director, FDP Voter Protection Dept.
