If you have troubling voting on Tuesday -- or see anyone else having issues -- please, please, please report it. Trouble could include a challenge to your right to vote, trying to get you to cast a provisional ballot, saying that you are not registered, or anything else. Be forceful and do your best to cast an actual ballot. Cast a provisional ballot if all else fails. You should always have that right.
If you run into issues, you can call the Obama campaign hotline for just this reason at 1-877-874-6226. The call is free and the campaign will help you protect your rights and the rights of other voters. You can also contact the campaign via this link if you have a Blackberry or laptop.
You should also report problems to the press. CNN has a free hotline set up as well for this purpose. That number is 1-877-466-2608.
I also mentioned the Video Your Vote campaign in a prior post. If you have a video camera, consider taking it to record any problems at your voting place. You can see what to do with the footage at the link provided. Also at the post are voting tips on protecting your right to vote.
Voting is our most precious right as Americans. Protect and defend it!
