Voters Unite: If you have voting problems, please report them!

[Carolab]

Voters in many states will be deciding important issues by voting Tuesday, November 8, 2005. No matter where you stand on any of the issues or candidates, all eligible voters should have the chance to cast their ballots effectively.

If you experience any problem casting your ballot -- finding the polling place, voter intimidation, accessibility issues, voting machine problems, provisional ballot issues, etc. -- or you witness anyone having voting problems, please immediately call 1-866-OUR-VOTE to report the problem. Please let others know too... the same number works nationwide.

Verified Voting Foundation volunteers and staff have developed a new version of the "Election Incident Reporting System" (EIRS) to record all problems reported to 1-866-OUR-VOTE. Since 2004, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals in the United States have used EIRS to help protect our right to vote and assure that every vote is counted as cast. If you'd like to know more about EIRS, please visit VerifiedVotingFoundation.org and Voteprotect.org


Remember: 1-866-OUR-VOTE. To tell your friends: http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/vevo/tellafriend.jsp?tell_a_friend_KEY=502


Now go vote!

1. Radio ads in CA stressing using Provisional Ballots if you have a problem

I went to the poll workers training with my 17YO who is working at the polls tomorrow and part of the training was that for certain problems, the voter was to be given a provisional ballot and the county would sort it out later.

Problems such as not appearing on voter rolls, voting at wrong precinct etc
