Reply #159: An alternate plan would be to work as a poll watcher for the Democratic party.

Contact your local Democratic party or Obama campaign headquarters. They are always looking for volunteers to watch for situations involving vote suppression. In 2004, we trained people for every polling place in our county to watch for exactly this sort of thing. We also had a legal team on call to deal with problems.

My husband volunteered for the Obama legal team in our state's primaries and will probably volunteer again for the general election. Best way to avoid situations like this is to let poll workers know that there are people watching who KNOW the law and will make sure that people's rights are upheld.
