A call to citizen journalists

9 ways you can cover tomorrow’s election.
It’s just bizarre to me to think that our elections are being monitored for problems by international observers. How low have we sunk?
Two things that everyone should do on Election Day: 1) Vote; and 2) Be watchful. If you see any abuse or misbehavior at the polls, document it. I’m not calling out for folks to randomly photograph polling places — but if there is abuse, it should be documented.
Hijinks abound already, including vote flipping on e-voting machines.
Update: Stanford Law School’s state-to-state guide for photographing polling places (in case you’re documenting)

The real me voted this morning. We were pleased to note that we still had the old voting system in place as our voter info. stated - yipee no electronic voting flipping potential.
Our local polling station was staffed with upbeat and helpful volunteers!
It was exciting to see a line of voters waiting. A great turn out of citizens casting their votes!
