ABC has announced that they are going to have a regular feature reporting on voter fraud, intimidation etc. dKos is probably the best organized community to get them the material that they want - let them hear from us! I've already emailed them about the dKos clearinghouse here:

but it would add weight if others let them know about individual problems.
ABC Note
So we're seeking YOUR help -- and by "you" we mean citizens, journalists, activists, party officials and consultants, election administrators, and interested observers.
ABC News is kicking off our 2004 Watchdog project today, and The Note -- and Noted Now -- will be its canvass. Between now and Election Day, look for regular reports on all ABC News programs.
If you want to help, or if you're concerned, all it takes is an e-mail to The ABC News Political Unit: politicalunit@abcnews.com.
You might encounter problems or issues with the mechanics of casting and tabulating your ballot, from rules about absentee votes and voter IDs, to problems with electronic machines in your county, to poll workers who don't know the law.
As we said, we're especially interested this year in the mechanics of voting ("casting and counting") and voter contact. We're looking for any type of communication -- be it from a neighbor, a radio ad, a flyer, a billboard, a county elections official, police officer, a secretary of state -- that confuses voters or seems suspect.
To submit material to our casting and counting watchdog corps, just e-mail us -- politicalunit@abcnews.com.
You can and should start writing us right now -- and all the way through Election Day.
