Tequila Party Teams Up With Evotee Targeting Key Swing Presidential States for 2012

Albuquerque, NM — Recently the Rolling Stone wrote a piece regarding the The GOP War on Voting with Kris Kobach at the helm of voter suppression laws.

Ari Berman wrote:

Just as Dixiecrats once used poll taxes and literacy tests to bar black Southerners from voting, a new crop of GOP governors and state legislators has passed a series of seemingly disconnected measures that could prevent millions of students, minorities, immigrants, ex-convicts and the elderly from casting ballots … No one has done more to stir up fears about the manufactured threat of voter fraud than Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a top adviser in the Bush Justice Department who has become a rising star in the GOP. ” … This year, Kobach successfully fought for a law requiring every Kansan to show proof of citizenship in order to vote – even though the state prosecuted only one case of voter fraud in the past five years. The new restriction fused anti-immigrant hysteria with voter-fraud paranoia.

 

In light of voter suppression laws, the Tequila Party Movement has begun a working relationship and partnership with the founder and CEO of Evotee, Jason Libersky.   Our theme for 2012 is for us (eligible Latino voters) to be a “voice via our vote for the voiceless undocumented.”

Evotee will enable us to register to vote in a secure and verifiable, but easy way.  Judging from the feed back we have received from both Republican and Democrat voters and county clerks, we have balanced these requirements into a solution that benefits all stake-holder in the voter registration process.  The Evotee flagship product, Evotee Register provides secure, efficient, and fully online voter registration. The registration platform application is currently available for iPad. Evotee Register removes numerous obstacles to efficient, accurate, and verifiable voter registration and greatly reduces the workload placed on county clerks.

The platform is currently in use in New Mexico and will be ready for nationwide deployment in approximately 6 weeks.

As evotee launches the application in high Hispanic populated states with emphasis on key Presidential states, we will continue to train our state Tequila Party leaders in an effort to Rock the Latino Vote.  Currently we have been using the online voter registration powered by Rock the Vote, and we feel the iPad online version of Evotee will fit our needs when we register eligible Latino voters at our Get Out the Vote Rallies, too.

We are told a Spanish version of the Evotee application should be made available to us in approximately 4 weeks.  2012 is the year of the Latino and we will overcome voter suppression laws being implemented against us.
