As many of you already know, I'm a first gen American of Latino decent. I usually get alot of interesting phone calls and mail that stems from that: you know, credit cards in Spanish, Latino book clubs, ect... So, I go to the mailbox today and find my election voting guide courtesy of La Raza, the militant Lation org that believes in the Republica del Norte.
Among the reminders:
1. You do not need an ID in many places to vote, so dont be intimidated to go.
2. If you need help reading or filling out the ballott, call this number for help (I liked this one
)
3. If your name does not appear on the voting rolls, request a provisional ballot and vote that way.
If you have any questions or problems, call 1-888-Ve-y-Vota. I'm thinking of calling them and requesting a list of candidates that they have endorsed.
What troubles me about all this is veiled encouragment to go to the polls anyways and give it a whirl. I know that many of you are concerned about election fraud (well, fraud that benefits the GOP that is) and wonder what you all think of this and what sort of election reform or guidelines we need to help clean up the system
