Please help spread this number around: 1-866-OUR-VOTE. It's a hotline to call if you know of efforts to discourage or prevent people from voting.
As the New York Times' Bob Herbert writes:
There are endless stories of attempts to discourage blacks from voting. Few get substantial publicity, so this is not seen as a big national problem. It deserves a brighter spotlight. When duly registered blacks are improperly challenged at the polls, or Florida tries to use a patently discriminatory voter felons list, or black votes are criminally tampered with or simply not counted at all - something should be done.
The number to call is 1-866-OUR VOTE.
