In West Sedona, marchers gathered at Vino Di Sedona and proceeded along State Route 89A to Coffeepot Drive greeted along the way by approving honks and waves from passing motorists. Congressional candidate Jonathan Nez surprised the crowd with an impromptu appearance. Voters lined up to shake his hand and snap selfies in the festive atmosphere.
In the Village of Oak Creek a golf cart decorated in red, white and blue offered voters fun rides to the ballot drop box.
Carrying signs urging citizens to vote early, participants encouraged those who have not yet voted to make a plan to cast their ballots before Election Day, November 3.
Yavapai County residents can vote early at the County Building on 6th Street in Cottonwood or return ballots at one of three official drop boxes: Sedona City Hall, the Fire District building in the Village of Oak Creek, or the County Building in Cottonwood. Coconino voters may use the drop box at Sedona City Hall.
The nonpartisan events focused on increasing participation in the November midterm elections, which traditionally attract fewer voters presidential election years. Organizers emphasized that every election is an opportunity for citizens to make their voices heard and participate in shaping their communities and their country.

A 2 page ballot could mean slow lines on November 3rd. No reason to wait. Vote with the ballot you received in the mail and slip it into a neighborhood drop box!
Ellen, taking time to do things legally and properly is precisely what Trump does not want. He wants Chaos and distraction so he can stage another insurrection if he loses again again which he legally will whether he accepts the lawful results or not. I already mailed my ballot in days ago but in hindsight I wish I’d have gone to the polls and taken my sweet time voting just how Trump claims everyone must despite complaining about mail in-overseas ballots and vote tabulation time. Definitely going to reconsider in 2027 for 2028 as I just love using their own ignorance against them.
The president isn’t on any ballot this year. 2026 is a midterm, and the 22nd Amendment bars him from running in 2028, so there’s no election for him to lose “again.” And deliberately slowing down a polling place doesn’t hurt him. It hurts the neighbors standing in line behind you, whichever way they vote. If the concern is respecting lawful process, it’s also worth remembering that the 2024 Democratic nominee received zero primary votes. Delegates picked her after the incumbent withdrew.
Uh Ronnie the Donald says pretend he’s in the ballot. So he’s on the ballot. When MAGA loses in November Trump loses again again! That is unless he stages another insurrection or declares Martial Law so he can steal the election for his minion peeps.
Ah Ronnie Raygun the man who thought his Presidency was a John Wayne movie. His war on drugs- abject failure, Star Wars laser- a bust and Mother Russia is stronger than ever thanks to Donald J Trump so tearing down the Berlin Wall was also an abject failure. Raygun is also a criminal who orchestrated Iran Contra and got caught despite Golly Olly taking the fall. The GOP/MAGA have a proud criminal history from Watergate, arming Iran and Iraq, covert drug smuggling via Noreiga, Nonexistent WMD’s, Nonexistent Iraqi ties to 9/11 to Trumps aiding Israeli genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians, his illegal war on Iran and his criminal DHS policies that have resulted in unarmed American civilians peacefully protesting as is their 1st Amendment right. Not to forget his bitcoin, foreign resorts and bribe planes.
And if you insist on raising lawful election processes without any mention of Trumps Jan 6th insurrection than you are clearly biased not I, not Jill not anyone else who posts truth to power.

since it is Trump who insists he wins if votes are all tabulated in one hour which is sheer absurdity, one can only conclude that time is on the side of democracy. Besides I’ve never seen a time limit sign at any polling station here or in the UK.
If slow voting doesn’t hurt Trump than why does he whine and cry about it every election? Probably the same reason he’s encouraging and participated in mail in voting despite having a tizzy about the non existent illegalities of them. I’ll take my time to vote from now on not because it hurts anyone in the polls but because it drives my least favorite person in the entire world bat shit crazy.
