Organizing Efforts for the 06 Midterm Elections (Ohio & National)
Election Protection
People for the American Way (PFAW) developed Election Protection 365, which is a non-partisan effort to protect voter rights. They conduct year-round and election season activities to assist African American, Hispanic, and other underrepresented communities who want their right to vote protected. Target states include Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.

Michele Lawrence Jawando, Election Protection Legal Outreach National Coordinator and Staff Attorney, flew in from Washington, D.C. to rally the troops for their important work. Her contact information, for those interested in volunteering nationally, is: mlawrence@pfaw.org; 202-467-2368 (office); 202-391-7642 (cell).

Shaun Tucker, African American Outreach State Coordinator for Ohio, for those interested in volunteering in Ohio , can be reached at, stucker@pfaw.org; 614-560-1441.

The toll-free number for reporting election disenfranchisement issues, which will be the hotline on election day, is 1-866-OUR-VOTE. They are seeking volunteers to be at polling places as well as volunteers to help log hotline calls reporting problems related to registration, voter intimidation, deceptive practices, law enforcement activities, non-English language assistance, student voting, absentee voting, criminal status, disability access, and polling place issues.
Learn more about Election Protection 365 and volunteer to help.

Brad Friedman's Election Strike Force will be involved in many projects. He's also offering a $250,000 reward for information that results in an overturning of a congressional election and a conviction of the person(s) responsible for the fraud. Whistleblowers should provide documents, tape recordings, and admissions. Send to tips@velvetrevolution.us.

Parallel Elections
You might think of a parallel election as a 100% exit poll of a precinct. The key, though, is that a PE is run not by officials or media, but by citizens. The primary goal of a PE is to provide an independent, observable, recountable record of how a precinct voted in the official election. You can download a manual at http://tinyurl.com/hrnox , or visit http://www.thelandesreport.com/ParallelElections.htm to study the process.
Rady Ananda and Marj Creech are seeking volunteers for election day. They need ten people per precinct as they target the Pryce-Kilroy race for Ohio's 15th Congressional District seat (Central Ohio). Shifts start at 6 AM and end at 2 AM.
To help with PEs in Central Ohio, contact Rady Ananda at rady.j30@gmail.com or Marj Creech at 740-940-5083 and risenregan@earthlink.net. To volunteer in Warren County, contact Jo Anne Karasek at Jo_Anne@ProtectVotesOhio.org
To help with PEs in California , contact Judy Alter at www.StudyCaliforniaBallots.org

Adopt a Board of Elections
Adopt a Board of Elections. What exactly does that entail? According to the Citizens' Alliance for Secure Elections (CASE), a non-partisan group of volunteers dedicated to accurate and fair elections, there are pre-election, election-day, and post-election responsibilities associated with adopting a board of elections.
