Today I attended a training session on election protection poll watching.
I was so impressed -- how many showed up.
The room was filled with lawyers -- from New York City, all of whom are assigned to help out in Pennsylvania.
(Sorry for the bad photo; I did what I could).
When I say filled -- I mean standing room only along the sides and the back. And, this was the second of two training sessions.
Other New York lawyers are volunteering in other areas of New York State; other PA lawyers are volunteering for Pennsylvania.
The session was well-organized.
We lawyers are ready. Look for us, on election day. Call in if there are any problems. Get your state telephone number for voter issues from the Obama website & resources.
At any sign of trouble -- Don't argue with anyone. Call for help.
And, encourage people not to leave the lines. Even if they're long. Imagine how long the next 4 years will be if McCain-Palin get in. Now that's long. Get a doughnut, sing a song. But wait it out.
