orichalcum at 08:59pm on 01/11/2004A couple of last minute notes for anyone or everyone voting or doing get-out-the-vote work tomorrow:
1. You are allowed to give voters at the polls anything that costs less than a dollar, at least in PA and Ohio. So giving out, say, 50% off Halloween candy (I bought 3 bags) to folks who are waiting 2 hours+ in line is great; giving disposable ponchos to soaked people in the rain is plausible, hardcover books to pass the time is right out.
2. Somebody told me, and it did seem to really work, at least for them and others, that the best line of argument for an undecided voter, should you be lucky enough to find one, was the following:
"Well, what are the issues important to you?"
Because then you can tell them honestly what each candidate's view is on, say, Social Security, or Iraq, or whatever.
3. If there is any voting problem that you see, call 1-866-VOTE-411.
