Is VoteWatch operational?

[Alpharetta]

I signed up a couple of days ago to be a closing voter and send the vote totals and a digital picture of those totals to this site that is tracking the tallies and making sure nothing gets "lost".

I just don't get a good feeling about this site. It doesn't let me get logged in or change my password. I don't know where to call in the vote totals or email them.

Anyone fully tapped into this site?

1. I am waiting to know at what time I am supposed to go "mystery" vote.

This is the latest missive I got in my email from them, dated October 24th:


Dear ************,

Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer Mystery Voter on Election Day! Your volunteer commitment will help ensure that we have a strong democracy in place, allowing all votes to be counted as cast. You are making a difference!

Common Cause and Votewatch have many ways for citizens to volunteer on Election Day. When you registered with Votewatch, you indicated that you would like to participate as a Mystery Voter. As a Mystery Voter, you will vote during a specific 15-minute time slot at your polling location and, after you vote, you will answer a few questions about the voting experience from Votewatch via our website or our toll-free fax number.

In the next week, you will receive a step-by-step instruction sheet from us explaining what to do on Election Day. This information will also be available on the Votewatch website: www.votewatch.us

Thank you for your involvement with this important project! Your commitment is what makes our democracy strong!

We look forward to working with you.



Chellie Pingree
President, Common Cause
Steven Hertzberg
Founder, Votewatch


P.S. Your Votewatch username is ********. If you have already voted via absentee ballot or early
voting, or if you no longer wish to participate in this program, please update your profile at
www.votewatch.us/plone_memberprefs_panel so it does not include Mystery Voter status.
After updating your Votewatch profile, you will no longer receive emails regarding this program.


I've logged in successfully to their site a couple of times in the last week but can't find any new information. I'm as stumped as you are.

2. They are up

Some last minute details have beset their schedule, but things will hopefully come together.

I'm actually helping run Closing Voter, so send me a note if you want to ask questions directly.
