I'm a poll watcher on election day.What are you guys doing?

[democrat in Tallahassee]

I'm working at an African American church here in Tallahassee. Wouldn't it be cool if Michael Moore came by? He's going to be in town on election day.

[juliagoolia]

1. i took the day off and the day before

to take people to the polls..

early voting starts this next week in tx and I will be canvassing getting people to the polls early ...lots of them.

[CornField]

2. No clue yet

I'm on the volunteer list, but the locals aren't sure where they'll be needing me the most. Honestly, I probably won't know until I get there that morning. :) In any event -- poll watching, driving, phoning, door-knocking... whatever I'm needed to do, I'm willing.

[cybildisobedience]

3. I'll be working all three days leading up....

and taking people to the polls or making phone calls to get the vote out the day of.

4. County Elections Supervisor

Running a polling place in Seattle.

[brooklynite]

46. Which part?

I have relatives in Shoreline, Lake City, Capitol Hill and West Seattle.

[Gaffey Duck]

5. Me?

Downing tons of alcohol, watching the results, and possibly pulling an all-nighter. Likely with my entire family. I'm not American, so it's the most "productive" thing I can do on election night.

Fuck Windows Client-Server and Marketing lecture hours.

A nail-biting election is a good excuse to listen to Air America Radio and get wasted. :-)

Just like I did for Taiwan, only I had nothing whatsoever to do the next day.

[foo_bar]

But I'll be thinking globally.

[WI_DEM]

9. voting

then going to my job and then after work picking up my sister (who is disabled) and taking her to her voting place to vote. After that, probably watch returns with friends. But I have committed the weekend prior to the election to GOTV efforts.

[magnolia]

10. Me too.

Actually...I'll be a "greeter" at the polls and take a shift of poll watching. My husband will be driving people. I'll be an absolute nervous wreck so won't be fit to drive.

[sherilocks]

31. Jacksonville needs all the help it can get

Try to stick around and go to the supervisor of elections office after the polls close. Lots of bad stuff goes on there. Just quietly watch what they do. Bring your camera.

[sandnsea]

15. Last minute voters

It would be nice to think we'll have all ballots returned way before Nov 2, but that's the day for the last minute voter so that's what I'll be doing.

18. That's what I want to do

I can travel to Iowa, WI, MN, or Ohio even if need be. Just need to find somebody to sign up with.

20. I'll be in Tallahassee too

with Election Protection. I haven't gotten a specific assignment yet.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

23. sherlilocks, let me know where you'll be; we may be close

together and not even know it!

[sherilocks]

27. I'll see if I can find out before I go

41. i'll be at the AME church on Orange Ave. come by if you get a chance

21. I'm a voter Challenger

I get to stand between the repubs and their desire to disenfranchise the people. I feel pretty damn full of myself. Seriously, we've heard of people telling undereducated voters that if they have a parking ticket or an unpaid utility bill they can't vote. K/E is getting lawyers to work the polls to prevent such shenanigans.

[Raven]

22. I'm a "poll counter".

My Pac has a list of likely Kerry voters. I will sit at the polls and check the off when they vote. The ones who don't show get a call from us. I will probably also drive folks if I can and hold a sign if I can and do anything else I can do that day. :hi:
