if you are a poll worker, or a poll watcher, or just a voter who can go back after the polling place is abandoned, GET THE TAPE!!!
poll workers, in most places, are entitled to a copy of the tape. watchers, generally, are allowed to have one if the judges want to print one. tapes that are posted are fair game once the poll workers leave.
if you cannot do any of the above, please return to your polling place, and write down the totals, at least for the top of your ticket. (in some locations, you might get a good photo, but if it is hanging in a window, it will be hard to get a good shot.)
and, for everyone- if your results are not available in a timely fashion, please make sure that gets reported to an election protection group.

then make sure that the official canvass matches your tape. there may be additions of absentee/early votes, if those are not counted in the precinct. but this should be a small number. if you are a poll worker, please note the possible number for this.
