Reply #146: I know this has nothing to do specifically...

But I'm too new to post and I know we have people from Ohio on this thread so I'm trying to get the word out here about this action alert that I received Ohio Voters


Probably could use a post of its own.

AcTiOn aLeRt 1: Board of Elections Public Hearing
Thursday, Dec 16, 2004*** TONIGHT
6:00 pm
Franklin County Memorial Hall (same building as Board of Elections)
280 East Broad, Columbus
In their continuing effort to meet the changing needs of democracy, the
Franklin
County BOE will hold a public hearing to receive input from Franklin
County
voters on their experiences, both good and bad, during the Nov 2
General
Election cycle. Spread the word. We want to have a presence there to
show that
not everyone is satisfied with the local administration of this
election.

AcTiOn aLeRt 2: Contacting Voters Whose Provisional Ballots did Not
Count

The BOE posted a list on their website with the name and address of
every voter
in the county who voted provisionally. The names are grouped by
category (Wrong
Precinct- No Vote; Insufficient ID- No Vote; Not Registered- No Vote;
Pollworker
Mistake- Vote). Some of us will be part of a campaign to contact voters
whose
votes were discarded to make sure they know. This will mean looking
them up in
the phone book and making phone calls, probably. We can start a new
org: the
Columbus League of Uncounted Voters! There?s a constituency to
organize! Let me
know if you want in on that."
