Instructions for Making Sure Your Vote Counts Tomorrow

Hello Dear Ones,

As you may know I've been volunteering at the MoveOn Help Desk for almost 5 years now. I'm hoping that a win for Obama tomorrow will be the result of all these long, difficult years of effort by all of us. To that end I'm forwarding a helpful list of tips about voting tomorrow from MoveOn. Please circulate it far and wide. Many of our friends haven't voted yet and we want to be certain that absolutely every single, vote is counted correctly! Thanks.

GO OBAMA!
