Building a relationship with your local officials is key. I got to know our local Commissioners, and the Election Director and her staff. When I did the True the Vote IV3 voter roll project last summer I agreed to pursue the challenges at the time in the election cycle when they could process them without their heads exploding. I was only able to file about 90% of the challenges BUT built a relationship that enables me to come back this year and file more challenges. We are a heavily Republican County but I know that relationship building would still have been the best approach even in a Democrat County.
