Subject: Please vote & where to report irregularities
This is it -- Election Day November 7, 2006 is almost here. Get as many of
your friends and family to vote as possible. And don't forget yourself: Vote
as if your life depends on it! Not so long ago many sacrificed their lives,
livelihoods, limbs and sanity so that African-Americans could vote. I am
respecting their sacrifices by voting.
When you vote tomorrow, if you see any voting irregularities or problems,
call the Election Protection hotline at 1-866-Our-Vote. The hotline provides
free, immediate, and multilingual assistance to voters encountering barriers
to voting. Also, if I were you I would call the Feminist Majority Foundation
at 1-866-444-3652, especially for student voters and difficulties voting on
any campus.
Then, if I were you I would report these problems at
<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=222614786&url_num=2&url=
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=222309860&url_num=2&url=h
ttp://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=-1&url_num=1&url=http://ww
w.feminist.org> www.feminist.org. Because of the dramatic increase in
electronic voting machines and longstanding concerns about the integrity of
the voting process, three foundations (Carnegie, Ford, and Open Society
Institute) are supporting a new project called VoterStory.org, which will be
collecting stories of voting irregularities. Once a person submits her or
his "story" of individual irregularities, she or he will be automatically
referred to nonprofit, nonpartisan voter protection organizations that will
be standing by to intervene or lend support if they can.
Remember, every vote must be counted this time.
Sincerely,
Rev. Dr. E-K. Daufin, Professor
Department of Communications
