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

In MA, we have to stick 150 feet from the polling place.

Anyway, I, too, am doing this, and I'm *also* last shift. I did this in 2016, and I really enjoyed it. Helped a bunch of people find their actual polling place, as opposed to the one they thought they were registered at.

I'm assigned to Ward C but I was deeply suspicious in 2016 when, for the first time in human history, they sent the Ward F (the Hood) voters to Ward E, although they had enough functioning voting machines for Ward E but not for Ward F...
