Poll Workers Needed For Early Voting And ESPECIALLY
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 06:04 PM by otohara
election day. The turn out will be huge and I've read where they need people desperately.

I think one of the most important volunteering we could do for this election (if possible) is to work the polls. We need to be there to make sure no hanky panky going is on and things are moving smoothly.

Sign up today at your Secretary of State office and go armed with a cell phone.

2. Pollworkers for Democracy -- one stop shopping for people who want to help...
http://act.credoaction.com/pollworkers/index.html

Pollworkers for Democracy is an effort to recruit, train, and network citizen pollworkers for the November 4, 2008 election and beyond. Official pollworkers have a vital role in running fair, accountable elections in which all eligible voters are able to cast their ballots and have them counted.

New Voter ID laws increase need for qualified pollworkers

On April 28th, the Supreme Court upheld Indiana's strict voter ID law, which requires all voters to present photo ID at the polls. This has opened the floodgates for other states to implement their own stringent laws. If voters don't present the correct ID, they will have to vote provisionally, which greatly increases the likelihood that their votes won't be counted at all. So who makes the decisions about which voters get to vote on Election Day and which have to vote provisionally? Pollworkers.
