Great news and bad news. The great news is that FL is now in the Obama column.
The bad news is that I got an email from Karen Thurman, State Dem Chair. The GOP is particularly desperate this year and ALREADY there are dirty tricks going on.
We are WAY short of pollwatchers. Let's not have a repeat of 2000:
If you live in Florida, contact your local supervisor of elections:
https://doe.dos.state.fl.us/...
OR
Contact your local Democratic party:
http://www.fladems.com/...
Tell them you would like to be a poll watcher. There's a quick training session, and you are off...
It is our duty to make sure that not one vote goes uncounted, that not one person is wrongfully turned away from the polls and that every voice is heard at the ballot box.
We are going to need an army of volunteers on Election Day and during early voting.
For my county, Seminole, you can email chair@seminoledemocrats.com ASAP so he can submit your name to the Supervisor of Elections.
The training is TONIGHT!
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1
Where: DEC headquarters, 125 Robin Road, Altamonte Springs
