Have a plan. Vote!

Hainesport neighbors — this is the next election-year update from the Hainesport Democratic Committee. I’m Bob Mode, Chair of the Committee, and today I want to share an important resource for anyone who has questions about voting or wants to help protect every eligible voter’s right to cast a ballot.
The New Jersey Voter Protection Project is organizing volunteers to help voters, answer questions, observe polling locations, support the voter protection hotline, and assist with other efforts to make sure voters have accurate information and a fair opportunity to participate.
If you want to be involved, you can fill out the volunteer input form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeEyFP2a1ptIQfQ21nJa6pUbXiFEjzAasjUGlbFJ_jiNtosYw/viewform

For voter assistance, save and share the New Jersey Voter Protection Hotline: 1-833-NJ-VOTES or 1-833-658-6837.

The hotline can help with questions such as:
• Vote-by-mail questions
• What to do if you have not received your ballot
• How to request or obtain your ballot
• How to report voting problems or concerns
• How voters and volunteers can help protect the vote
Whether you plan to vote by mail, vote early, or vote on Election Day, please do not wait if you have a question or run into a problem. Help is available, and protecting every eligible voter’s access to the ballot is a community effort.
Please share this information with neighbors, family, and friends who may need it.

Hainesport neighbors — this is the first in a series of election-year posts from the Hainesport Democratic Committee to help answer common voting questions and point residents to official resources. I’m Bob Mode, Chair of the Committee, and today’s focus is vote-by-mail and the outreach efforts being offered by Burlington County election officials.

Burlington County has begun mailing vote-by-mail ballots for the 2026 General Election, and voters who want a ballot mailed to them must have their application received by the County Clerk by October 27. Voters may also apply in person until 3:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2. Completed vote-by-mail ballots may be returned by mail, delivered in person to the Burlington County Elections Building, or placed in one of the county’s secure ballot drop boxes by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

The Burlington County Superintendent of Elections is also holding voter outreach events where residents can ask questions, complete voter registration or party declaration forms, and get hands-on guidance with county voting machines. Upcoming events listed by the county after today include:

This is unacceptable from the autocratic Trump regime and will not stand up in court:

The president said on Friday he would ban CNN, Politico and MS NOW. Any prohibition will probably face a legal challenge.

Way to work, guys! Nothing beats pounding the pavement and talking to residents!

John Cane wore his Eagles polo shirt today to knock on a few more doors before the game in District 2’s The Glen, where coincidentally both his and Zachary James Astor’s mothers-in-law live! Thank you to all the residents who opened their doors to us, and there were a lot!

Love to see the campaign getting out and talking to residents in their homes!

Zachary James Astor spent part of this lovely September Saturday knocking doors in District 2’s The Glen neighborhood. Thanks to all the people who took the time to speak with us! It was interesting to hear how passionate some Hainesport residents are about the state of the nation!

I wasn't sure what I wanted to say today. 25 years later, it still stops me. Every time I think of it. This photo is one I took a few years later. I still haven't been able to go to the memorial site. Like many, I knew people who were there.

It's important that we never forget this day. There are so many facets to this remembrance. But for today, let's just remember all who we lost.

Way to go, guys! The hard work you do now is a reflection of how hard you will work for Hainesport residents!

Zachary James Astor and John Cane spent part of this lovely evening knocking doors in D1’s Davenport Village (right around the corner from Zack’s house) before Zack headed to his daughter’s softball game! Thanks to all the neighbors who took the time to chat!
