BABE VOTE Launches Effort to “Build an Army of Voters”
.
.
 BABE VOTE, an effort to increase voter registration and turnout in upcoming elections, was launched today by Boise artist, Spencer Hattabaugh and a small coalition of statewide organizers and creatives. BABE VOTE’s stated goal is to “build an army of voters,” with its eyes set on getting non-voters to the polls and putting power in the peoples’ hands.
.
.
“Profit and politics over people and planet can end in 2020 if we get registered and vote,” Hattabaugh said. “BABE VOTE is a call for the people to take our power back; get registered, get informed, and cast our ballots.”
.
.
“The BABE VOTE message has resonated with young people,” said Hattabaugh, who created the brand which focuses on art, lifestyle and voter registration, “and since Millennials and Gen Z make up nearly 40% of the 2020 electorate, now is the time to spread the word and empower non-voters to get registered.”
.
.
As of May 1, 185,000 out of 1.2 million Idahoans of voting age, had requested absentee ballots for the May 19 Primary Election. That’s only about 15% and the deadline is getting close. With in-person voting cancelled (due to Covid19), all voting must be done by absentee ballots. Hattabaugh is hoping the BABE VOTE message encourages more people to go to idahovotes.gov to register to vote and request their absentee ballot by the May 19, 8pm deadline and mail in their ballot early enough to be received by the June 2, 5pm deadline.
