“Voters who are in line before their local polling place closes must be allowed to vote,” says Lillie Coney of EPIC and the National Center for Voting Integrity. “Walking toward the line at the time the polls close does not count. If there is a line after 4PM typically it will only get longer, so it’s best to get in line now for the duration.”

Last-minute Strategies to Reduce Voter Suppression
October 25-28, 2008

On-air discussion at Forward Forum: October 26 6-7PM CDT
(live chat to follow)

• 40,000 votes at risk in North Carolina; please help get the word out
• for future action and media alerts, please join the vswiki-alerts Google Group
• feedback, please, from activists, bloggers and voters about our action alert

Discusses bridging the gap between online and offline environments from the perspective of the Voter Suppression Wiki and the Twitter Voter Project.

If you’re already involved with the Voter Suppression Wiki, please say hi on the introductions page, check out the help wanted, and jump into the discussions on planning and strategy.
