2024 Caucus sites

 Come caucus with us on Monday, January 15 at 7 p.m.

If you vote in Laurens, caucus at West Iowa Bank.

If you vote in Havelock, Rolfe, Pocahontas, or Palmer, caucus at the library in the same town.

If you vote in Fonda, caucus at the fire station.

Caucuses are organized by a volunteer.  The people who attend can then elect their own chair for the rest of the meeting.  Bring your thoughts and opinions on every issue from health to wealth.  Plot who should run for office from township trustee to President.  We will have dessert, too, so there will be plenty to chew on.

New Polling Sites

The political map of Pocahontas County will change following the 2020 census. The county lost population especially on its east side while the city of Pocahontas gained in numbers. As a result of redrawing precinct and supervisor district lines, the polling places in 2022 will be in Laurens, Havelock, Rolfe, Pocahontas, Palmer, and Fonda. Pocahontas will have two sites.

Biden Tops Ticket of Great Democrats

 

Vote at the Courthouse every day beginning October 4.  Vote by mail by submitting this form or making your own form that has all the same information:  https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/pdf/absenteeballotapp.pdf

Carmella Schultes of Rolfe thinks bigger than our current state representative.  Find more at Schultes for District 10

Re-elect county supervisors Ed Dewey of Pocahontas and Jeff Ives who represents Rolfe and the area over to Cummins Township.

J.D. Scholten is such a good candidate for Congress that the Republican wannabe is hiding from him.

Theresa Greenfield will represent Iowa in the Senate,  Our current Senator just represents the Republican party line.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will bring back family values (instead of greed) and civil respect (instead of name-calling).  Vote for them.

We have never had a President like the current one.  He is running against the very idea of elections.  Vote him out in such a landslide that other Republicans will be afraid of voters rather than afraid of Trump's tweets.  

If you must, you can wait until Nov 3.  Then go to your local polling place before 9 pm.

Vote Today



It's too late to mail your absentee ballot.  Take it to the Courthouse yourself or take it to the polling place.  It must arrive by 9 pm unless it is already in the mail. 

We have new polling sites to provide more space.  Laurens will vote at school.  Fonda will vote at the fire station.  All polls in Pocahontas will be in the PAC elementary building.  Rolfe & Palmer are unchanged. 

Vote for a Senate candidate who can beat Joni Ernst, a Trump lickspittle.  Write in Carmella Schultes for district 10 state representative.  I wish I had written in George Floyd for sheriff.  You can still do it.




Tuesday, May 12, 2020

Please write in our candidate for state representative, Carmella Schultes of Rolfe.


This is what the ballot looks like.  Voters throughout the district can help. That includes Humboldt county, Calhoun county and parts (Gowrie and more) of Webster county. Fill in the circle, write in the name.

2020 Caucus Sites: Laurens, Rolfe, Fonda, Pocahontas

We are ready for our Presidential caucus to be held at 7 pm on Feb 3, 2020.  Here are the sites and conveners:

If you vote in Laurens, caucus at the school.
If you vote in Fonda, caucus at Weinzetl's party room.
If you vote in Rolfe, caucus at the Community Center.

If you vote at the Pocahontas fire station on Hwy 4, go up the road a bit and caucus at the county conservation office.  You will be sharing space with the people who vote in Palmer--two caucuses meeting at separate tables in the same room.

If you vote at the Courthouse or at the Pocahontas Library, caucus at PAC high school vocal music room.

These caucuses will be called to order by Amber Evans, Carmella Schultes, Jerry Depew, Laura Todd, Chandler Todd, Catherine Edgerton, and Ian Lumsden.  The first order of business will be to elect a chairman, so you can still command your caucus if you want to run for the job that night.

We will also select a man and a woman from each precinct to create a new county central committee.  These people will have control of the county party.

And most notably we will begin to chose a better President by standing up for our favorite candidate and selecting delegates to a county convention.  Stronger candidates get to claim more delegates.

Come on out.  Bring your kids.  Democracy depends on who shows up!
