Resource: 866-OUR-VOTE

[sathari]

For all US folks going into the election, here is an excellent multimedia resource for anyone having difficulties voting: 866ourvote.org.

And, yes, that is also an actual phone number, 866-687-8683 and a text resource, where you can text "Our vote" to 97779. The hotline is run by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. They also have a bunch of affiliates for speakers of languages-not-English.

ETA: thanks to julian who commented with more hotline numbers for speakers of different languages, and I quote:

"888-Ve-Y-Vota is the Spanish-language hotline.

844-Yalla-US is the Arabic one

and 888-API-VOTE serves a number of Asian and Pacific Island language"

and I added the sign language video hotline: 301-818-8683

It's dubious whether my t-shirt will arrive in time, so I bought a poncho from the dollar store (non-partisan green) and a lanyard with a badge holder (non-partisan yellow) so I can print out a Volunteer tag. I feel a bit like Napoleon crowning himself emperor.

Update: no, my t-shirt did not arrive in time.

Bummer--- still, your alternate version is pretty great!

One thing about November in the Northeast is that...running around in your shirtsleeves is not really a great idea, so t-shirt even if present would have to be flashed beneath fall jacket.

Yeah, you would have at least needed something under the T-shirt anyway. :(
