Election 2004: Vote Early and OftenPoll watching
Thursday, October 14, 2004, 10:19 PM
Yesterday I signed up to do poll watching. Or perhaps I'll be taking hotline calls, or be part of some mobile response team. These are some of the many options at the "Voter Protection Center"; see voteprotect.org for more information and to sign up yourself. The software lets you look at your task list, see who else is going out in your area, and all kinds of other goodies. Unfortunately, the only three tasks I seem to have are to fill out the three skillset questionnaires, and I did that already. I should enjoy my boredom; it'll probably get plenty exciting in a couple of weeks.
And speaking of polls, this year the Voter News Service is out of business. Instead, the AP will be the only source for vote counts. Don't f*ck it up, guys! (The full story is here.)
