> most on

> Election Day. At the same time, leaders in the civil

> rights

> community have been warning that unless tens of

> thousands of

> volunteers stand up and protect voting rights,

> minority voters

> will once again face disenfranchisment at the polls

> due to

> illegal disqualification, intimidation, and faulty

> voting

> machines.

>

> Many of us at Mother Jones have pledged to travel to

> key states

> with our friends and families to help protect voting

> rights as

> volunteer poll monitors. We hope you will join us.

> Francisco, you can

> find out how you can become an Election Protection

> Volunteer.

> Working Assets will even be giving a way a pair of

> free tickets

> free drawing
