Just talked with a woman that's on the Obama legal team in IN
She said during the primaries in Indiana, some guy walked in who looked like he had been drinking all day, and said "is this where I vote for Obama?"

She told me another story about a woman in a nursing home who called on election day and was told she couldn't vote because she missed the day they did early voting at her nursing home. A van was sent to pick her up and bring her to vote.

She told me about all the people that showed up thinking they needed a picture ID to vote.

She invited me to come work on the legal team in IN on NOV 3rd and 4th.

This is AMERICA. When this generation is telling their grandchildren about about why they love their country, let others talk about dropping cluster bombs on caves half way around the world, I'm telling my grandchildren about this election.

3. Obama has Legal Teams dealing with A LOT of issues concerning the upcoming election
I spoke with someone last night who was working with the National Campaign in Chicago, but has since come back to Texas to help organize us Texans. I told him I was worried about some of the obstacles we are facing. He let me know they have Lawyers working on several of these issues.

The issue that I have been worried about centers around college students being able to vote in the county where they are going to school. I've read several news articles detailing how the GOP plan on disenfranchising students.

Let's just hope the Lawyers can deal with ALL of them.
