That's a very big burden of proof. And I don't think that the state's up to it. Better yet, Governor Granholm–who waxed so eloquently on the rights of Michigan's Clinton voters–wouldn't get elected dog catcher if she signed off on something like that.

Thanks for the reply, though :)

You know, something just occurred to me after watching clips from Palin's interview today and reflecting on the juvenile web/campaign ads from Campaign McCain: we are witnessing the rise of the DittoHead generation. And to the extent that we allow them to have/be in power… we are in trouble.

Think the dumbazz (Kevin James) on Chris Matthews shouting in loud ignorance about the appeasement smear. No, think about the (stereo)typical beauty contestant's unorthodox elegance of ignorance stumbling through simple questions.

Seriously, Palin is that good at being that bad and the worst part about it… there's a legion of these lemmings… BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!!!

Voter protection is often most urgently needed in places far away from cities where few lawyers -- usually based in urban areas -- can reach. It does help to have some local knowledge so you know when something's really fishy and so you know the officials at least somewhat, but the main thing that's helpful is to be persuasive, unafraid, and have some mastery of the law (which the voter protection volunteer training provides). Still, if you run into anything suspicious, you're supposed to push it up the chain of command (there is an entire voter protection structure in every campaign), and a legal specialist can provide concrete answers.<br><br>Good luck!

1. The Obama campaign is looking for people with legal expertise:

TLawyers Needed for Obama Voter Protection Program

The link to sign up on the Obama site, from that site

Another more detailed sign-up page on the Obama site

Just for this purpose, I wish I was a lawyer or law student!

2. I volunteered with this group in 2004 (hung out at the pools to try to make sure no one was being messed with — where I was stationed was pretty uneventful):

National Campaign For Fair Elections

3. And this dailykos article might have more info, I didn't dig incredibly deeply into it:
