Make sure you know this number when you vote: 1-866-OUR-VOTE
If you go to vote and someone tries to intimidate you or keep you from voting call 1-866-OUR-VOTE. It is the democratic voter fraud line that will dispatch a team of lawyers to make sure your vote counts.

DO NOT LET THEM STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION THROUGH INTIMIDATION AND FRAUD!

3. Thanks so much!!!...
I've got a stack of voter's rights materials to give out on Tuesday and these cards will go great with everything else. I'm going to hang out outside polling precinct, at the edge of the property on the sidewalk. I'll also have my digital camera with me and notebook to report any problem I hear about or witness.

Thanks again.

5. You are absolutely most welcome!
I have mine and have passed them on. I'm not expecting trouble, since I live in a small town in a blue state, but you never know. I passed these on to my friend, who said that she didn't expect to be challenged by the little blue haired ladies at her polling place, but programmed the number into her cell phone, just in case.:-)

You are doing a marvelous job and taking every precaution. Good luck on Tuesday and let us know how it turns out.:hi:

7. I'm in Florida...
so there's no telling what I might see. Hopefully there won't be any incidents to report, but that's optimistic. I'll definitely check in on Tuesday night (if the boards are working) and share how it went.

Best of luck to all of us.

8. I am so sorry! I don't blame you for taking every precaution
I have heard that some of the same shenanigans were taking place as did in 2000, and can't believe that this can be dismissed as accidents or equipment failure. Please be careful and check in as soon as you can.:pals:

I'm in New York, blue state, red district (the whole state is Republican, except for NYC, which has a Republican mayor), so we're surrounded, but I'm not too worried, since I live in a small town, upstate.:shrug:

Anyway, see if this helps. My friend, from New Hampshire, sent it to me. Enjoy and pass it on to your fellow Floridians!:kick:

for the KE 04 campaign. Find them.

4. Clueless. Watching the voting, not the counting
It's not a bad thing to do, it's very nice, but where the hell are the people watching the counting of the vote?

The lawyers are so underinformed it's unbelievable, when it comes to simple preventive actions in watching the counting of the vote.

Here's how bad it is, folks:

6. Wow! I am so sorry! You have worked so hard!
I've passed your articles on to friends who are worried or scared and your name came up, again, just today. The marvelous work that you have done and are doing is so important. I wish that I knew enough to help. Hang in there.:pals:
