May be poll-watching in Virginia on election day!

[elleng]

Had volunteered to do 'legal' work as necessary, said could travel, and just got a call, asking if I am still available and interested, and pick Virginia or Pennsylvania.

I said YES and Virginia, as its closer to home in Maryland. Have no problem traveling and voting early or absentee in Maryland, where I have confidence my vote will be counted!

Happy they're working on this now!

1. I've always wanted to do that, but it would mean abandoning my "charges."

I give people rides to the polls, and they've come to rely on me.

2. That's seriously important work you do, MADem!

[MADem]

4. I enjoy the hell out of it, actually!

It's mostly older people, a window on my near future!

Nice to know there's no shortage of humor and fun and smartass comments in old age! I learn a lot from "my peeps!"

[elleng]

7. I'll bet you do!

Nothing like some truly experienced humor!
Sad Dad has passed on. First year in 70? he won't be voting.

8. Awww, damn. Bummer.

No matter how long they're gone, you always miss 'em.

The little kid in all of us is just a memory away.

9. Indeed.

He was with us for 98+ years.
Always, Daddy.

3. I am running the voter protection efforts in my county

The Obama voter protection team called me last week. I have signed up but I would prefer to stay in my county and make sure that we do not have problems. Fort Bend County is next to Harris County which was the target of the King Street Patriots and the True the Vote idiots in 2010. We are expecting to have these idiots in our county this cycle. I had ten or so poll watchers out in 2010 and hope to have many more out for the general election.

5. Good for you! nt

6. GOOD WORK!

Thanks, and best of luck to us all!

10. They haven't called me

Also here in Maryland. I volunteered with VA4O via web form and email, but haven't gotten any reply.

11. Not sure with whom I volunteered.

Someone phoned me few weeks ago to follow up and confirm. Asked if I'd prefer VA or PA; said VA for proximity. Would be GREAT to be in VA#7, cantor's district!
