I would like to be kept up on what's happening with any poll watching efforts in which I can take part. Are you planning on formulating a strategy that we can implement nationwide? If so, people with video cameras at the polls would be a great idea.

Poll watchers using cameras is going to depend on the laws which vary from state to state. It was suggested awhile back that we have lots of "interested parties" stationed at the polls with pen type cameras so's to keep the hollering about voter intimidation down to a minimum. Kinda hard to be intimidated by something you are unaware of. I don't know the quality of pictures these cameras take. Perhaps someone has had some experience with them or could make recommendations. The idea behind this is to get evidence of such things as busloads of people going from polling site to polling site (photos of license plates as well as voters). Of course, short of actually following them around, this would require having people at different precincts.
