BBV: Calling for a Clean Voting Crew

[Andy_Stephenson]

We have an election to monitor.

If you live in Western Washington and want to help in this important effort, we can use your help. Skagit county is holding a special election on Tuesday April 27th. We need about 100 people that can monitor poll sites as well as the central count computer. This is a trial run for the fall and will help us to get the procedures in place. We need volunteers for the following positions...

8 coordinators they will act as a central repositry for information coming in from the poll watchers

8 Media contacts...they will be tasked with contacting the media and sending them to trouble spots.

2 Attorneys...you know what they are for.

80 poll watchers. With a cell phone.

We will email your poll site duty location and instructions later this week.

If you are interested please send an email to:

[email protected]

Oh and please keep this kicked...

Edit: The cities involved are Anacortes and Mount Vernon.

5. Off topic: I'm concerned about Ohio.

Ohio is hugely important for Kerry. I'm wondering what kind of efforts are being put forth there for a fair election. (I'm in California.)

6. Ohio is definitely a target: check this thread for doings in OH

15. Great job for democracy, Andy!

I'm sure the people of Washington would be glad to insure clean voting!!!!

16. Skagit County is using

ES&S optical scan machines.

[BevHarris]

17. Ah! That means we learn about two of the big four at once

Because ES&S optical scans are also the Sequoia optical scans. They share the hardware and software, having divvied it up in a previous acquisition deal.

How cozy.

Great job, Andy. I am getting inundated with volunteers, and need to do something about it. Let's put our heads together tomorrow to help streamline the intake. This is good stuff! I think we'll be shooting for 20,004 volunteers, not 2,004, don't you? They are pouring in.

But we need more for April 27 -- come on, join the fun!
