Pierce Co Auditor: Put a ballot box in Tillicum!
The people of Tillicum and Woodbrook wish to vote and participate in our democracy, yet they cannot afford the cost of a stamp to mail their ballot or the price of gas to deliver it, if they are lucky enough to have a car. It is time for the Pierce County Auditor to put a ballot box in their community so this majority community of color can vote!
Why is this important?
In the 2012 election, registered voters from Tillicum turned out at a 10 percent lower rate than the rest of Pierce County. Voters from this community have expressed time and again that having a ballot box in their neighborhood will make it much more likely that they participate in our democracy. We need a ballot box in Tillicum now.
