So they ignored it. And now they are "late".

Because that helps them how, exactly?

as election day approaches, what they are doing is preparing to have lawyers on the ground to meet and help voters. you don't do that in *March*!

this is what they did in 2008. i volunteered in Nevada and saw it first hand, they had lawyers and law students at precincts all over the place and they were there to help assure that people could vote --in fact, they were there to assure that any eligible voter could vote, regardless of whom they were supporting.

their organization was so thorough and so coordinated, i've never seen anything like it and for you to ignorantly run them down like they are not paying attention is unfair.

They've been around.

The same sort of announcement went out about sending thousands of lawyers to prevent election fraud in 2004. Not a peep was heard from them again as the Dems rolled over afterward. I'll believe this when I see it. So far the Dems seem to be for the most part unaware of the dangers of hackable proprietary electronic voting systems.

What's your point ... the Dems are hoping to LOSE?

2004 No More.

I'm more optimistic.

I witnessed it in Reno/Sparks in 2008, it was thorough, there were a ton of lawyers and law students and they covered precincts all over the place, in fact, they sometimes had more than one attorney per voting location.

They were all over this.

and they still pissed off the election even after all the warnings!!

I keep waiting to hear something about that!! Such BS since the Kerry campaign and so easy to disenfranchise voters that way, as has been amply reported/analyzed... IMO voting equipmt should be federally managed, not privately and secretively run.

Just a hello from an old member of DU. I don't correct all the time, just some of the time. Aren't you lucky?

but the facts/questionable activities and results have been reported from all corners. So correction?: not so much, but your implicit point about the MSM itself not reporting is a good one! And you are an old Duer... I'll welcome your comments any time -

We're going to need all the help we can get.

Are you with the campaign? What are you doing?

attorneys in Philly alone. Did it in 2008 and 2010.

The Obama campaign and the DNC coordinate and send us.

Thank you for what you're doing.

all our key precincts. i was counting voters at 3 precincts (one location though) and Obama campaign had 3 law students, one for each precinct. some would observe, others would be available on the outside for questions.

the campaign in 2008 was so thorough, so planned, so coordinated, they didn't miss a beat.

the Obama campaign then, overdid and overdid everything, just to be sure. they really didn't mess around.

it worked so well that i was sent home early, as were the attorneys, because all our targeted voters had voted well before the polls closed.

Nevada went from a losing by 2.5% margin to winning by 12%.

voter fraud never happens. election fraud is what the republicans are doing by enacting such laws..

it's to make sure eligible voters are able/allowed to cast their ballots.

if you're going to comment on an article, you could at least read it first.

I did this in 2004, 2008 and now 2012

Love that post!

to make sure they don't pull shit like they did in 2000 & 2004. I am appreciative of everyone who is able to go and do this on election day.

What if those who do not have the proper ID to vote are bused by the thousands to the polls and demand their right to vote? Perhaps it is not feasible, but if it was it seems that it would call attention to dishonest disenfranchisement of millions of voters. It could be a real Tea Party event in which the denial of citizens rights would be opening demonstrated to be nothing more than voter suppression. This could be especially effective if it involved veterans who served during war time and because of their age may not qualify or even have the need for a drivers license or what ever ID they are demanding.

Will be interesting to see if they pull a Schrub '04, with broken machines and no parking, endless lines, etc.

I somehow think Shrub needed his daddy's cronies to pull it off. Election fraud has since sent dozens to jail. It's a big risk. Will there be fools loyal enough to romney with the local backing to pull it off, in this age of cell phones, tweeting, and portable broadcasting?

before the ID laws were passed.
