Sign up to be a poll worker for General Election Day Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Government reform orgs. deliver news on major events within their areas of expertise.
From: Election Protection


We've seen it over and over again: undertrained poll workers causing problems that lead to voters being disenfranchised.

When poll workers don't know what to do when machines break down, misunderstand state law about voters showing photo ID, or can't explain their state's ballot correctly - or when there simply aren't enough of them - votes are lost.

There's an answer to the problem: you.

We've partnered with Credo Mobile to recruit our non-legal members to be poll workers for Election Day 2008.

It's simple and easy: enter your zip code, press join, and you'll be guided through the process. With a full day of your time, you can have a tremendous impact.

Having enough poll workers to handle high turnout on Election Day couldn't be more important - but we're running out of time to recruit the poll workers we need. That's why I'm hoping you will sign up to be a poll worker in this year's election today!

Strengthen our great democracy by becoming a poll worker.

Poll workers are a vital part of a fair, accountable, election in which every voter can cast their ballot and have it counted.

Election Protection is recruiting legal volunteers - but if you don't have a legal background, becoming a poll worker is a fantastic way to help ensure a fair and efficient election. Please consider becoming an official poll worker.

Sincerely,

Jonah Goldman
