SANTA MONICA – Karen Eyres, the site manager at the Westside Democratic HQ, said her work helps her navigate the stress associated with the general election.

“When you’re doing the work, it relieves the anxiety and gives you something to focus on and be productive in ways that can have results,” Ayres said.

Ayres added that tomorrow, Westside Democratic HQ will be ballot curing in swing states – meaning that they will be challenging some ballots. Ballots can be marked invalid, often because of a missing required signature, and the team plans on calling these voters to guide them through collecting their ballots.
