‘The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and its partners are currently recruiting volunteers for the 2006 national Election Protection program. Election Protection, the nation’s largest non-partisan voter protection coalition, is led by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the NAACP, the National Bar Association, and People For the American Way Foundation. Election Protection provides direct voter assistance through our toll-free hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE, and through legal field programs in targeted states.’ ‘Volunteer attorneys, paralegals, and law students are needed in Washington, DC, New York, and San Francisco to staff the national voter hotline on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7th (6:00 a.m. – 12:00 midnight EST) and Monday, November 6, 2006 (8:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. EST).’ ““ See directly below….

Thanks for the info. In Maryland, it looks like Gov. Erlich has only focused on the electronic poll book issues. I guess that may be because errors are pretty obvious to the public (e.g., you are not registered to vote, yes I am, no you’re not), and are as likely to affect a Smithsonian magazine editor as they are anyone else. As for the electronic voting itself. I’m suspicious that Erlich’s support of paper ballots is disengenous. Why? Because nothing has happened and he’s had plenty of time. If this Governor can’t govern then out he goes.
What to do

Title to post #2
NO STRAIGHT PARTY VOTERS
But really folks,
“aint it time to do sumping drastic?”
And that something drastic requires straight party votes– for Democrats– this time. That’s the only way to get control of Congress away from these Republican criminals and try to restore democracy, our freedoms, election integrity, a foreign policy that makes sense, and the respect of the rest of the world once again.
I do not agree with those who blame both parties equally. Yes, there are Democrats who are greedy, out for personal profit, or willing to break the law to win elections. But there has NEVER been an Administration and Congressional Majority that has gone to such incredible lengths to make themselves and their buddies richer and more powerful, who have not cared at all about the well-being of the majority of American citizens but, instead, in Congress, have twisted every rule of conduct, cut the opposing party out entirely- regardless of the deceit and tricks needed to do it- in order to quietly, sneakily pass legislation to benefit the richest at the expense of all other Americans. There has never been an Administration as committed to lawless behavior here and abroad, and less committed to the Constitution and form of Government they were expected to protect. Never before have we had an Un-American Administration running our country. Even Nixon and his men believed in the Constitution, and- in the end- Nixon did what was best for the country, as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, etc.- and their true-believers in Congress- would NEVER DO- until forced.

You are absolutely right. This isn’t the time to be “making a statement” against any Democrat you might be angry at. Democrats must have a majority in the house and senate, and NOTHING else matters this time. There is obviously not going to be any kind of Green or Libertarian, or any other kind of takover. It is just plain crazy to think otherwise.
To Nancy at #3
It was a poem to jog people’s conscience and possibly bring a smile to help us keep our sanity. I basically agree with you but the likelyhood of waking up all the asleep-at-the-wheel Americans is questionable. They are spoon fed by the MSM who are ALL multimillion dollar republican party contributors.
I think one of the best actions we can take NOW is to put our money where our greatest proof of their fraud is, an independently funded exit poll. Here is the link:
Please act now! http://electiondefensealliance....ent_exit_polls
Then when they flip the results for the THIRD TIME, all Americans with a brain and conscience left need to assemble PEACEFULLY en mass at prearranged places for however long it takes to demand a Paper ballot election!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to show the world what the real American majority looks like and can do.
I guess I should qualify my work as approaching the WHOLE and not the chorus.
Oh Yeah,
I just got back from a poll worker training class.
How many people that are complaining are actually signed up to WORK????????????????
Go to: pollworkersfordemocracy.org
Then when the results from those indepent exit polls are brought forth as EVIDENCE we might have a leg to stand on, and whatever else poll workers observe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
