Frangela on the Stephanie Miller show made a good point yesterday about Early Voting
Not sure if it was Fran or Angela but she said blacks were coming out early to vote, because of what has happened in the past and if they were turned away they had a couple of weeks to fight and make sure their vote got counted. She put it in a very clever funny way but her comment made sense. It's very important to vote early to make sure you can fight being purged. If you vote on the last day and you were purged your vote likely will not count and there will be no time to fight it.

1. That's what Greg Palast is saying.
He says vote early and vote often!

And to NEVER take a provisional ballot, demand a real ballot. So if you vote early and are disenfranchised you have time to fight to make it right and to get a real ballot.

3. At the phone bank in Wisconsin, we are urging
every supporter we get on the phone to go and VOTE EARLY.

Some people are resistant, they have this romantic thing about going to the polls on election day. We are trying to explain that getting that vote in "the bank" is the best thing for Obama.
