Most of the county parties are running voter protection operations in their county. I am in charge of the Fort Bend County voter protection operation. I have been on the phone with our county election administrator all week. I have poll watchers covering most of the early voting locations and we have poll greeters at most key locations.

The Texas Voter Enhancement Project has some good information and Sondra Haltom has been doing training sessions throughout the state. The online training programs on that site are very good.
