EP's database, the Election Incident Reporting System, records such problems, allowing the lawyers to track them in real time and take appropriate action. The database has been used to support the coalition's efforts in lawsuits across the country to advocate for voter rights. The information also supports advocacy organizations working to improve voting laws at the local, state and national level, and provided information for a report on disenfranchisement in the 2004 elections called "Shattering the Myth," available at http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/dfiles/file_477.pdf

"The November election may well be a crucial turning point for the nation. It's imperative that voters have faith in our electoral system, that they go to the polls in great numbers, and that their votes will be counted. That's the Election Protection goal: helping every voter cast a vote that will count," said Ralph G. Neas, president of People for the American Way Foundation.

"NAACP units across the nation will be strategically positioned on Election Day to ensure that every registered voter has an opportunity to exercise their right to vote and that their vote is counted.

You know that participation is vital to the success of our democracy. You know you need to raise your voice, declare yourself, rock the vote and all that, but in the weeks leading up to the election, problems can arise. Who do you call when your registration card or absentee ballot goes missing? Who do you call when lines at the polls stretch for hours and your poll location is hard to find? Who do you call when your local board of elections doesn't answer?

1-866-MyVote1

The 2006 MyVote1 Election Hotline is up and running! The English and Spanish, automated hotline will help registered voters in three ways in the weeks leading up to, and on Election Day 2006:

Where to Vote: Callers will first have the option of entering their zip code and home telephone number to have their poll location read to them.

Report a Problem: Hotline callers can then leave a voice message describing their complaint. Consortium members will have access the recordings as they come in during the election-cycle so they can respond in real-time to developing problems.

Get Help: Finally, the hotline will ask callers if they want to be transferred to their local election board help line and will track whether their call was answered.

Also, contact your LOCAL media in light of any problems and encourage them to bring a camera crew!

VOTE!

Please kick, recommend and spread the word - so that everyone can take note.

Thanks.
