Why did I make this initial map? To look for 'empty' homes that have no pins, no registered voters. Those might be good homes to visit for a voter registration drive. (Later, we can look for very old voters and see if they want to be added to the mail-in ballot list that is now a permanent option...and other plans/strategies/demographic groups.)
Look at the screenshot above. If you zoom in enough, you get house numbers shown, and can see that, on Circle Drive the following homes don't have registered voters: 1402, 1406, 1500, 1506, and 1510. These all lie on the same side of that street and your walking distance is only a few hundred yards.

This is an initial tool to get brains thinking on street-level planning and strategies.
Alamogordo city commission district 4 has the lowest rate of voter registration and voter turnout in all of Alamogordo for this election cycle...it has the greatest growth potential for registering voters. It's also the bluest commission district this election cycle. We have the best chance at making a difference here for 2025 local elections.
As we visit homes, I hope we can recruit other folks to help with this. It's gonna take a bunch of people.

Some caveats:
- Every list has errors. As we visit homes, we'll get feedback on things to correct, then re-issue a slightly better list...wash, rinse, repeat.
- Some pins in this map plot in the middle of street intersections. Google Maps took a best guess at a confusing address...often a fractional/letter-suffix apartment address on a residential lot.
- This pin drop map works best on single family dwelling districts, not apartment complexes...such as Capri Manor Apartments at 1404 Cuba, which takes up a whole block.
- Google Maps only shows one pin at a given house, even if there are two or more pins. There is no additional symbology/coloring to tell you that there are multiple voters at a given address. Even if you click on a pin, you only get the data for the topmost one in the stack, with no indication that other pins are below the top one. (There is a workaround of sorts. I can make lists of those households that have multiple voters.)

There is only one way out of this mess. People power - community building.
Community building takes many forms.
Below is an email I shared with a dozen local colleagues...in the hope to spur action in neighborhoods in Alamogordo.
=======================
This is an initial pin map of Alamogordo city commission district 4. It has four layers, each a different color (different party) that you can turn on/off. (Dem, DTS, GOP, and Other). "Other" is all the minor parties, such as Libertarian, Green, WFP, Con, etc.
There are a bit less than 3,000 voters...at about 1,400 addresses.
If your cell phone is kinda old, it may choke on all the pins in the display. Devices with more computing power should show this map OK (tablets, laptops). As you drive around, your location will be shown on the map. You can pan the map around and zoom in and out.

Jupiter and Venus shine through dissipating monsoon storm clouds in morning twilight. The highest cirrus catch the first pink of the coming sunrise.
This was the view several mornings ago:

Evening monsoon storm has veiled Sierra Blanca behind and in sheets of rain.
These monochrome images are infrared, which makes the conifers look bright, as if they were covered in snow.

Jupiter and Venus keep getting closer and closer in the morning sky.
This shot is in very bright twilight. The bottom of the frame shows the growing pink as the sun gets closer to rising. Orion is invisible in the bright sky.
Here is how it looked two mornings ago, and a half hour earlier in darker twilight:

The glider turtle deck and cockpit get a few more items.
The oxygen tank is now mounted under the turtle deck. A retaining cable runs back to the rear steel carrythrough tube, and will only be used once...in the event of a crash. (Wooden 2x4's are mockups for the wing spars to ensure I am installing items with acceptable clearance.)
A two-litre water bladder hangs behind the seat pan, and the drinking tube is at a convenient location.
I still have to install another fiberglass antenna bracket under the aft end of the turtle deck.

Venus and Jupiter are getting closer by the day.
This image was taken in fairly bright twilight, so Orion does not stand out much.

"This is the largest 300 cu ft steel oxygen cylinder tank we carry...."
Gee, does this mean I could get a smaller 300 cubic foot gas cylinder?
