Discussing the Diaspora as seen through an internal Black lens
October 20th, 2008
First, Sandra of A Lady’s Perspective reminds us that you cannot, in most states wear campaign t-shirts and buttons at the voting polls. Campaigning is not allowed at the polls; and whether one personally thinks wearing a t-shirt is campaign or not, is irrelevant; you should not give poll workers a reason to turn you away. This is something to make know to your readers and others.
Secondly, The SuperSpade (www.garlin.org) has provided us with an Education tool that he created “called Know How To Vote. It let’s people find out early voting info for their state via text message or on the web:
Here’s the map for early voting below with starting dates in the states that have it. I strongly encourage you who are in early voting states to push people you know, including mass emailing; to go early vote while they can. Likewise, bloggers should do more than just post about early voting but emphasize to your readers to not only go to the polls early but that they push others to go to the polls during early voting. Also it doesn’t matter what state you’re from, you blogger readers come from all over.
