Protect your vote

"Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it. For it requires that we take the chances of freedom; that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear of events filled with passion; that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance; that men chance error in their search for the truth."

Robert F. Kennedy, February 19, 1966

Get ready to sustain our democracy! Let's vote for the quiet heros caught in a perfect storm all across our country. Let's vote for our future and make our votes count.

From lawyer Adam B at Daily Kos

If you see something weird or discomfiting or arguably illegal going on at your polling place tomorrow, ...you've got two choices tomorrow as to where to phone in your information, and I'm going to advocate doing both.  First off, there's Obama Voter Protection:

Call 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-874-6226) and let them know what problems you're seeing.  If you can't get through, use this online form and/or call your local campaign HQ.

Alternately, or in addition, I strongly encourage you to call Election Protection, a nonpartisan organization:

• For immediate assistance, call the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline.
• To report problems to Election Protection's state teams through Twitter, use these guidelines.
• Track incident reports received through the hotline at OurVoteLive.org
• Keep an eye on voting issues as they are reported at the OurVoteLive Blog


• Follow breaking voting news and issues at the 866OurVote Twitter account

We all love being able to break news here about what we're seeing, but what matters most tomorrow is giving that information to people who can do something about it .  And then ... wait, what are you doing at a computer in the first place on Election Day?  Get out there.  Do More Than Vote.
