Election protection volunteers.

Personally I feel that American democracy, if in fact there ever was such a thing, is a stone-cold dead beast; and that there's no chance whatsoever of fair or honest elections in this country. At least not on the federal level; maybe somewhat for smaller local elections, but even those I fear have become contaminated by the greed and lawlessness created by the corporates.

But if you do think that there's a chance the November election could be considered fair, and you want to volunteer to help make it so, there's a group Election Protection Volunteers, that is organizing folks to help monitor the polls and to try to assure that the vote count has at least some connection to reality. They're looking for thousands of volunteers, needed all over the country. The site is hosted by the good, albeit unrealistically idealistic folks at Working for Change.
