Yes, I’m a bit obsessed with raising awareness about election fraud. I hope this doesn’t bore those of you who’ve never had your vote challenged or experienced any poll booth problems. However, perhaps you are one of thousands of people living in a swing state that has or might experience voter suppression and intimidation tactics. All of this brings me to Tuesday’s election, which is a wonderful opportunity to exercise your right to vote but also the day that plenty of dubious attempts will be made to suppress people’s right to vote. Who can forget election day 2000? Or 2004? Does anyone want a repeat of those dark days which unleashed the Bush fury on the world, twice?! (Even Republicans are finally tired of Bush; check out his “approval” ratings. How can a repeat of previous elections’ voter fraud madness be prevented? Voter protection! You, the voter, need to help to prevent voter disenfranchisement and election fraud.

If you experience or witness any suspicious activities, are denied the right to vote or have any voter questions, takepart and contact 1-866-OUR-VOTE or 866ourvote.org and 1-888-Ve-Y-Vota for Spanish.

psst! This photo may seem out of place but I’m voting for Obama and it’s Halloween! No matter who you are voting for, be sure to get out and VOTE on Tuesday!
