Hey Kossacks. I'm manning the complaint line in southern Florida for ACT and in the last two hours we have been receiving complaints from residents in Broward, Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale that they have received calls regarding a precinct change for their voting tomorrow. We need you to find all the news stations in our region in time for the 11:00 news. Please make clear that you only want them to notify Floridians that should they receive a call telling them that their polling place has changed that they should disregard it. Florida Kossacks should report any and all shenanigans they have bourne witness to as well. Here is the full complaint report from
Voter Protect.
I'll start you off: WPTV NBC West Palm Beach News Room (561-653-5700.)
WPEC CBS Channel 12: 561-848-NEWS.
It would be awesome if you wouldn't mind notifying Air America as well. They can spread word to more Floridians to stop this madness. And please, reccomend the hell out of this diary, we need to crush them.
Back to the war room go I. Someone please take the lead here. We got them on the ropes. It's our time. GOTV, ya'll GOTV.

From the comments: She just got a call from a woman who told her that her polling place had been changed. The woman gave her new polling place info, and my friend's mother challenged her, because she knew the new location wasn't in her district. When she asked to speak to the woman's supervisor, the woman hung up.
My friend's mother then called the Kerry campaign office. They said they had gotten at least 50 calls from elderly voters in the last few hours complaining about the same thing.
