Organized Labor Will Monitor Polls

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON -- The AFL-CIO will monitor polls in battleground states on Election Day to guard against voting abuses, and is launching a new effort to educate voters about the process and their rights.

The "My Vote, My Right" campaign is intended to help prevent problems that arose in the 2000 election, including technological glitches with voting machines, confusing ballots, inadequately staffed polls, polls that opened late and closed early, and registered voters erroneously removed from rolls.

Voter advocacy teams have been created in 32 cities in 12 states to help monitor implementation and enforcement of election laws, and to educate voters about the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
