Election Protection Trainings - PA Volunteers Needed
Attorneys, law students, paralegals, faith groups, non-profits, unions, students, and community organizations are currently mobilizing to “Protect The Vote” on November 4th. We need much more help in covering hotlines and monitoring the polling sites across Pennsylvania. We are committed to protecting elections and informing voters of their rights, making sure that every vote is counted and every voice is heard. Our non-partisan effort has been and will be monitoring:
- Voter Purges
- Unprocessed Voter Registrations
- Obstacles to student voting
- Poll worker training and shortages
- Voting Machine problems
- Partisan voter challenges, voter intimidation and deception
- Disability access
- Language barriers
- Voting Machine allocations
- Incorrect use of emergency and provisional ballots
