prediction: which state - expected to be red - will go blue?
get out your tea leaves and crystal balls....name the state that you guess will shock the pundits/pollsters and switch from red to blue at the end of the day tomorrow.

my top contenders:

West Virginia

North Carolina

 Vote as if your life depended on it, because it does.

Call 866 687-8683
If Poll Workers refuse you to vote for any reason

If there is a late opening or early closing of a polling place.
If your polling place runs out of ballots or has an incorrect ballot
If you experience poll worker insensitivity or discrimination in the voting process

The civil rights community have set up a toll-free Election Day hotline. This line is
staffed now and, in addition to logging your complaint, the civil rights organizations have law
students and attorneys who can provide assistance on Election Day.

the hotline number is
866 687-8683
202 457-0473 fax

When you call the hotline, be prepared to give your name, telephone number, and note as many
details as possible, including the names of the people who are involved.

Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 05:51 PM by vadem2004
SO many volunteers doing so many things tomorrow. As I write this, I'm printing packets for a group of Young Democrats from a local high school. Not even eligible to vote yet, and 50 kids are going to give up their teacher workday holiday to knock on doors and remind people to vote.

Say it with me, people, Virginia is going BLUE!

close polls + big turnout + hard working Kerry supporters on the ground = Kerry victory in VA.

61. Alaska may just surprise some folks
My local high school had an election and Kerry won by 52% to 47% Nader got 1%. Lisa Murkowski was trounced. She only got 28% of the vote. don You8ng got 55% though which really dissappointed me but he is basically running unopposed. There is a Democrat running but he only had $4000. in his campaign chest compared to several million for Young. Alaska may surprise folks is all I'm saying.
