What You Might Not Know About Arizona Elections

When I was contacted with concerns that the Arizona Democratic Party was omitting certain candidates from election packets, I went to the local Democrats office to see if it was true. Quoted from the Democrat publication:
"From the Desk of Jeremey Lasher, Cochise County Field Organizer: It's that time again, the time when we reach out to voters one on one, let them see your smiling face and tell them why they should vote for all of our great Democratic candidates." ALL of our candidates? Really? Anyone concerned about Arizona elections should watch what happened.
And by the way, there IS more than one congressional candidate for CD 2.

I was in that office during most of this taping. Jeremey specifically requested that his image NOT be posted.

[Al Loneprotestor]

Yes he did, and the beauty of living in a democratic society is the transparency - and the freedom to record public officials - afforded to us to us by our Constitution.

[Peggy Szymeczek]

Jeremey is NOT a public official. He is an employee; I'm a volunteer.

[Al Loneprotestor]

Thank you for volunteering. You and Jeremy both looked great on the video.

[Jim Hannley]

I am impressed by the Loneprotester's sense of fairness and her civic commitment to see that the democratic process is followed. It appears that is not the case in Cochise County. It is highly disturbing that, as Jeremey claims that a Primary election is being manipulated by the Arizona Democratic Party to mobilize precinct committee members in support of one candidate over another. Thank you for the work you do, Loneprotester.

[Peggy Szymeczek]

That was not me. I came in about 1 - 2 minutes later. If I had appeared, I would not be happy about it.

And why didn't the pther person recording focus on the huge stacks of Matt Heinz stuff on the table but gloss over it instead?

[Dino Kadich]

Isn't it sickening that ADP isn't helping oust a sitting United States congressman in favor of a 35 year old state legislator? What did you expect? If Matt wants to win the primary, all power to him. But you can't expect the state party to help primary a congressman -- let alone one who's been in office for little over a month.

Amazing...jeez. Great documentation video. Very clear on the principles of what is going on.
