Just Democracy. I'm a student at Stanford and we've started setting up our chapter now. It's crucial to get a head start in terms of publicity, official recognition (faculty advisors, reserving space, etc.), and registering to vote absentee so you can spend your day monitoring without missing the opportunity to vote (or having your vote eaten by a computer). From the site:
Just Democracy is made up of a network of law students, organized in chapters based at law schools all over the country. On Election Day, November 2, 2004, trained JD volunteers will be present at local polling places to act as resources for voters and poll workers.
Just Democracy's chapters will bring the resources of law schools, students and faculties to bear in their own communities to strengthen American democracy. Along the way, Just Democracy will encourage civic and community engagement among its law student volunteers, and will instill a sense of responsibility in the next generation of law school graduates for stewardship of the democratic process.
We aim to send 2000 or more volunteers to 500 high-risk polling places on November 2nd.
Take the ideas and information you've learned on Kos and do something that could critically affect the election.
