Special Meeting to discuss how to help Pam Richardson’s campaign

Rob described the strategy – phone calls, an event at Parwez Wahid’s house, 2 mailings of postcards, one with stickers that could be used on the ballot. 10,000 postcards were also being sent out by the State Committee, explaining the situation. The Pam Richardson campaign needed volunteers for making phone calls and for the election day itself, in shifts of 2 hours, with identifying purple sweatshirts, ready to hand out more stickers. Rob asked us to call neighbors and friends and stress the fact that Pam was the elected Democratic nominee. The mechanism of write-in voting was discussed. All that was required was that the intent of the voter be clear, so filling the bubble next to the write-in wasn’t essential, but it would facilitate the counting. Norma Shulman suggested the election day volunteers bring flashlights.
