ACTION NAME: Illinois Election Incidents Hotsheet
DATES: Feb 01, 2010 through Mar 02, 2010
ORGANIZATION: Illinois Ballot Integrity Project
MORE INFO: http://ballot-integrity.org/hotsheet
DESCRIPTION: Ever been irked by something at your polling place? Ever
wish you could tell everyone about it?
Now you can.
The Illinois Ballot Integrity Project will broadcast your
experiences--in your own words--to troubleshooters, fellow
voters, journalists, and public officials.
Simply post a note to our blog, the "Illinois Election
Incidents Hotsheet," http://ballot-integrity.org/hotsheet
* Your note gets posted instantly--verbatim, unfiltered,
complete.
* No problem is too small to report--add up enough small
ones, you get a big one.
* If you captured audio or video data, you can send us
copies to post, or you can include links in your report.
* If possible, file your report on election day so that
voters and troubleshooters get timely alerts. (But
don't worry, we'll be welcoming new reports for a month
afterwards.)
* We welcome reports from everywhere in Illinois.
Didn't bump into any problems? Great! Then visit our
Hotsheet and see whether problems that others had might
be watering down your vote.
* * *
As citizens, we need to become informed of the full set
of problems that are afflicting our elections--during
campaigns, during registering, at the polling place, or
even while just seeking information.
It's past time that we grabbed these problems by the horns.
You bring the problems. We'll bring the "bullhorn."

Local Stuff
It would be interesting if people encounter any difficulties at the polls locally and make reports that they cc them here.
Heck, it's been practically predicted that there will be voting problems locally tomorrow. AM580 spent a lot of coverage today with Mark Sheldon going on and on about how there were going to be all sorts of problems because of the new law about voting machines being required to let voters know if there is an undervote on their ballot. Geez, I can't actually imagine this being much of a problem, but Mark's already sued and lost on this, I hope not with any taxpayer money.
Maybe this is just Mark's way of shifting the blame elsewhere for anything bad that happens tomorrow?
