[NJCher]

I have a group of people who want to do activist work in this area. What's the best site to refer them to?

We're a national coalition and support network for more than 50 grassroots state and local groups in 40 states. The site will fill your friends in on what's going on in their state and nationally and let them know who to contact to get more involved.

6. thanks

But they're not friends, they're students. They have signed up for a class on social activism and as part of the class, they have to be involved in a semester-long project. I am stressing voting machine issues.

It is my hope they will build bonds with other activists and stay to fight the good fight, long after the semester is over.

Thanks for your links. I am posting them to the links page and we will be discussing them in depth this coming Thursday.
