Hello all.

Here is a second message from Democracy Live inviting us to a meeting along with several other states.   

This will be held two days after the meeting planned for those of us here in Michigan  that I sent in a separate email.  

Pleas try to attend one of these meetings if you are voting with the accessible absentee ballot.  Our Michigan meeting is Monday October 12 and has a different Zoom meeting ID which was sent in the previous email.
