Pre-election activities include formally requesting specific documents from the BOE and asking various questions associated with vote count auditing, voting machine allocation, voter purging, voter registration, absentee ballots, election day procedures, election challenger procedures, election monitor procedures, provisional ballots, and recount procedures. This will then lead to lobbying for improvements and contacting the media, if appropriate. See http://www.blackboxvoting.org/toolkit.pdf and/or http://www.uscountvotes.org/ucvData/US/How2CollectData.pdf.

Election-day activities include election monitoring in as many precincts as possible including note-taking and photographing any irregularities.
Post-election activities include performing an audit of actual results and reporting on those results to the media.
Citizens interested in volunteering for CASE Ohio and the Adopt a Board of Elections Program should contact Pete Johnson at pete@caseohio.org or pjohnso6@insight.rr.com. Volunteers interested in serving as election observers can also contact Tim Kettler at TimKettler@sostim06.com.

Video the Vote
Video the Vote is seeking volunteers to help with an organized effort to videotape problems on election day. These videos will be used on election day, via quick downloads to YouTube, to encourage media to share voting disenfranchisement experiences with the public. The videos may also be used after election day as evidence for potential litigation and as footage for documentary films. This is a non-partisan effort to observe and document election-day activities. Melissa Giraud spoke at the revival and requested volunteers in Ohio and throughout the country to assist with this nationwide effort.

Ohio volunteers may contact Melissa at Melissa@videothevote.org.
