Nation-wide, the GOP is resorting to scare tactics (h/t TPM), bullying, and illegal schemes involving slimy organizations like Young Political Majors to try and suppress/cook the vote.
The appropriate response to this creeping infestation of actual fraud is to shine a little sunlight on the voting process itself.
If you've got access to a camera (cell-phone, video, VHS, whatever) read on...
The folks at the Citizen Media Law Project of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society have teamed up with PBS and YouTube to put together a practical guide to the legal in's and outs of video recording polling stations on election day
This is a great resource to spread the word that (except in a few states) video and audio recording of polling places is usually legal. You may have to haggle a bit with poll workers to make it happen; and you will most certainly need to respect the privacy of your fellow citizens; but the potential for catching sleazy wingnut tactics on camera is a critical task and the more of us who can do it the better.
Just think...
If the right thinks there's a voter fraud problem, why not illustrate the true crisis of electoral integrity by capturing actual "irregularities" and uploading them to YouTube's "Video Your Vote" channel?
To judge by recent cycles, the bulk of illegalities will involve the disenfranchisement of poor and working class voters and especially people of color in contentious states (even though the number of those is dropping fast).
Does this describe your neighborhood or a nearby metropolitan area? If yes, help us keep this election little cleaner: make a few phone calls, talk to the legal clinic at your local University, read the Citizen Media Law Project's legal guide to documenting your vote, and ask the CMLP folks questions through their blog. Find out about your local precinct and what you can do to document the voting process there.
Oh, and then don't forget your camera phone when you head to the polls...
