Urgent Need For Volunteers for Franken Recount in MN [View All]

[pathansen]

Please K&R this post.
It was just announced on the news that the Coleman Campaign will placing 2 staff and 1 attorney at every county where there is a recount.

In response to this, the Franken campaign is forced to find more volunteers both in MN and those willing to travel. I received the following e-mail:

Dear Friend,
Our race is still too close to call. After 3 million Minnesotans cast their ballots, the margin sits at just 206 votes -- that's seven one-thousandths of one percent! With a margin that small, we're headed towards an automatic statewide recount. And that means we need your help.
The recount -- a hand count of every ballot -- begins next week in every county in Minnesota. And it could last as long as a month.
Here's how you can help:
1. BE A VOLUNTEER OBSERVER: These volunteers will be trained to observe the counting, identify ballots in question, and articulate the basis for the challenge. We need people who can attend a TRAINING THIS COMING WEEKEND, stand on their feet for hours at a time, and volunteer for multiple days or weeks throughout the recount process. Please go to www.alfranken.com/recounthelp right now to volunteer.
2. HOUSING: We need housing across the state for volunteers and staff who will be working on the recount.
If you can help out or have questions, please email [e-mail].

I understand they also looking for volunteers from out-of-state willing to travel to Minnesota and help out.
THANKS!
