Let me start out with some Good News, but that still have many of us puzzled as to why it took so long to get to the 'Good' and much needed, no answers.

On 'Obstructionism' and the VA, Plus:

I'm saving this cut of the Rachel Maddow show, on the evening of 4.07.09, to show how those we hire to represent us don't.

Early voting has begun, and apparently early attempts at electioneering and of simple battery have been surfacing in NC where voters have been pulled out of line, handed a pamphlet and urged to think twice about voting for Obama/Biden. As reported on DailyKos in the piece Bullying Voters at the Polls Today in NC by robertacker13 (originally sourced from AndrewSullivan.com), these occurrences are also accompanying some huge crowds and long waits at the polling places.

The dKos piece referenced above contained an online complaint form, duplicated below along with the associated accreditation and excerpt.

_____

[I]f you or someone you know has any problems at the polls or see anything suspicious, fill out a complaint here

h/t Enterik for adding this Online Voter Complaint form.

original website here: http://www.voterstory.org/
_____

Regardless of your political alignment, nobody -- from any party, special interest or group, has the right to interfere with your right to vote for the candidate of your choice.

If you experience or witness any efforts to intimidate, threaten, coerce or interfere with anyone attempting to vote, fill out that form.

We'd appreciate an email, too (use our contact form). We'd like to see how much of a pattern is occurring here, but we can't alleviate the problem. File your complaint through official channels first to ensure that you do your part to help protect our rights to vote, and ~then~ let us know.

Thank you.
