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 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
