You've inspired me to put more concrete action steps to raising awareness of this issue I am v-e-r-y passionate about. My contribution to protecting the vote is that I will serve as a poll supervisor for a very large precinct here in California on November 4th. By the time I've completed my ballot tallies and delivered my totals, the election may have been decided. ALSO - Jack and Jill Politics has just launched a "Voter Suppression Wiki" http://votersuppressionwiki.wetpaint.com/ Please spread the word about this, too.

Voting for the first time, as I hope many will do, can be a very intimidating experience.
