NextGen, a liberal political group, is working to get out the youth vote by giving rides to the polls from the University of Arizona campus on Nov. 6 on a “party bus”.
Rides will be going from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and pick up will be at the Sixth Street Garage with drop off at the polling station on Donna R. Liggins Neighborhood Center.
The NextGen Arizona team has been working hard all election season to show youth that their vote matters. They work to ensure that every person they have spoken to has a voting plan and information on the candidates. NextGen Arizona has recruited over 1,000 volunteer shifts to get young voters to vote for midterm elections.
NextGen America is making a change across 11 states on nearly 420 college campuses to help young people resist current government views and policies and take matter into their own hands.
“We have been in the community for months now working on removing roadblocks to young people voting this November 6th. This is just another effort in ensuring we have the highest youth vote turn out possible,” says Belen Sisa AZ State Media Manager of NextGen America.
NextGen hopes to be a leading example for future campaigns and the future of the Democratic Party.

They closed both of our polling stations in my district on the SouthWest side of town. Our new polliing station is in another district over by Pima College East in the middle of a residential neighborhood, 5-6 blocks from any major street. It’s over a mile drive for the closest voter. For most of those without a car, it’s 2 bus rides, 45-60 minutes each way, to a bus stop 6 blocks from the poll. I must I live in a democratic leaning district, thanks Phoenix.
Sorry, that should read ‘SouthEast side of town’.
You can’t live in a democratic leaning part of town. The majority of people on the SE side survive without government assistance by actually working a full time job. Phoenix does not select polling places, it may simply be that the usual one was not available or not willing to let it be used again. I doubt this is voter suppression as you suggested. The liberal media is in charge of that.
Here is the report from 2016. They have closed more than this for 2018. . . https://www.thenation.com/article/there-ar…
Is it possible that you two are both wrong and because of all the mail in ballots, they can’t justify the expense of running so many polling places? Would they have really shown concern for how they spend our money? What a novel idea.
