Suggestion: Bring celphones with camera features to the polls.
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 09:43 PM by Ken Burch
Especially if you're in a Democratic area or a precinct with high AA, Hispanic, labor or LGBT vote concentration. Those will be the areas where some sort of tricks will most likely be tried, and the more cameras they see the less likely they'll be to try anything.

That's my suggestion, anyway.

2. In WI it is illegal to carry a camera or cellphone into a voting booth.
It differs from state to state.

4. Well, you could leave it outside the booth.
The idea was more simply to document the scene and make sure everyone who was planning something knew they were being kept tabs on.

Maybe it's impractical.
