New York Democratic Lawyers Council Conducting Election Monitoring In Every County In New York
The New York Democratic Lawyers Council have been training people all across the state on how to monitor elections. You still have time to join an election monitoring training session. They are happening all across the state. Please spread the word. There are tight races all across New York State, especially up north. You don't have to be a lawyer to volunteer, but you have to commit to the training session.
Schedule Of Election Monitor Training Sessions

VeekTheVote.com 2006 Election Protection
Veek the Vote 2006 (www.veekthevote.com), a project that enables people to use the cameras in their mobile phones to express themselves and document Election Day in near real-time.
Veek The Vote represents something wholly new in the history of election coverage. Anyone with a mobile phone equipped with a camera-—there are over 70 million of them in the U.S.--can send a photo or video to vote@veeker.com. No registration is requried. No special software is needed.
Fifteen to sixty seconds after a photo or video is sent, it will appear in a embedded player at veekthevote.com. This player, in turn, can be taken by anyone and embedded anywhere on the web: on blogs, MySpace pages, etc. Veek the Vote generates a completely open mobile video communication network, enabling complete democratization of election coverage. We take in video from anyone, and allow anyone to display it on their website.
We’re very excited about the prospects for Veek the Vote. It empowers Americans to be more than a statistic captured by exit polls on Election Day. Whether they’re taking to the streets in protest, waiting patiently (or impatiently) in line at the polls, or stuck behind a desk, Veek the Vote 2006 lets America show and see Election Day in a way never before possible.
Any help that you all might be able to give in helping us get this story out would be very much appreciated. The more people that know about Veek the Vote, the more powerful it will be.
