We are happy to report that our Poll Challenger Training has been extremely successful! To date we have trained 90 people to work in the polls. Even with that impressive number, we still need more volunteers to be trained as poll challengers. It is vital to have enough people to cover every precinct in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia and other nearby counties. Bilingual challengers are especially needed. We will need poll challengers throughout the early voting period as well as November 2nd and also during the counting of absentee ballots.   .
 
In order to schedule another training session in Albuquerque, we need at least ten people committed to attend.  Please consider being one of those ten!  We also have plans underway for training sessions in Rio Rancho, Los Lunas and possibly the East Mountain area.
 
Remember, having an adequate number of poll challengers is critical in the upcoming election.  Voter irregularities have been an issue in this state for many, many years and we need to do everything in our power to protect the integrity of our elections now! 
 
IMPORTANT!!  If you have attended a training session and have not yet received an email with the words "ATP Poll Challenger Training Information" in the subject line, please check your spam folder first, then send an email to volunteers@abqteaparty.com.  As is often the case with our sign-in sheets, we have some email addresses that are a little difficult to read and we have had some returned email labeled "undeliverable."
 
If you would like to volunteer for training or just have some questions, please send an email to volunteers@abqteaparty.com
