(122 posts)WE Can Become Boots On The Ground, esp in Red or Battleground States to combat this crap! If its safe to do so, you can become an instant billboard to inform people to call Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE. Some of these people are at some polling locations solving problems like the one in this thread, but they are probably not at every polling place. Let's protect our right to vote!!!

I'd love to hear the reason for not doing it everywhere. It's simple, efficient, nobody loses time off work, you can take your time with the voter's pamphlet and make an informed decision....
So, I just answered my own question, I guess. That's the reason. But I'd love to hear the excuses for not doing it everywhere.

(10,721 posts)Printers and machines apparently not tested ahead of time. Missing power cords. Missing keys. No back-up ballots.
2 fucking years to prepare and it's amateur hour.
