Participate in LA's Election Day Rapid Response Team (Video the Vote)
We are having a meeting Sunday Oct. 29 in Echo Park to discuss and train everyone on what exactly we will be doing on Election Day. We will have attorneys to guide us through what we will need to do. We will also be organizing film crews to follow the attorneys as they take testimony from voters all over the city. If you own a camera or are an attorney please come out to help us secure our elections! Finally, I want to invite any one planning to be a poll worker or poll watcher to come to the meeting. You must at least have our dispatch line number on election day so that we can respond to any incidents at your polling place. If you plan to participate in this action please save this link for I will update it as Election Day approaches.

Election Protection Strike Force
No registered voter should ever be turned away from the polls without being allowed to cast a vote. Yet this happened time and again in primary elections this year when electronic voting machines failed to operate in even their usual untrustworthy, nontransparent manner.

Demand Emergency Paper Ballots to Protect the Vote
Under the leadership of Brad Friedman of Brad Blog and Velvet Revolution, and with the support of over 50 Election Integrity Advocate groups, congressional members, elections officials, computer scientists, attorneys and journalists, an open letter was sent to all fifty states’ Governors, Secretaries of States, and State Election Directors requesting that emergency paper ballots be on hand in each precinct.
