I just hosted a ballot party for our spring elections in Wisconsin! It was a resounding success—we had a lot of local races and had a group of 8 adults chatting in my living room while the kids watched a movie downstairs.
I did put together some info on the races and what the offices do (we all got to review the court system), but we also just shared what we all knew, and that ended up being my favorite part.
The few people who couldn’t come shared what a great idea it was, and even stopped by my driveway when they saw me, to hear what they missed. Thank you Beth for originally sharing the idea a few years ago. This is the local work that I want to do, and feel capable of doing!
I did this for local and state races in the 2024 election with a bipartisan group in a part of that gets together to talk about politics and it was so much fun. I was as non partisan I could be with all the races except one where the candidate was just a complete joke (he replied to the local newspapers interview questions, but the answer is made absolutely no sense). I'm excited to do it again this year!
