A "San Francisco Dude" Votes Early

Tuesday could not come any sooner for me - this is definitely an unfortunate weekend for daylight savings time to roll around! Because I will be sequestered in CREDO Mobile's Election Day bunker from sunup to sundown on Tuesday, I went to SF City Hall to vote early yesterday. Needless to say, the press was all over it!:

Worried your vote won't count? Bring a video camera

Alex Wise -- the San Francisco dude behind the swing state-transport group ObamaTravel -- checked in Saturday to say that folks were waiting 20 minutes in the rain to vote at San Francisco's City Hall when there seemed like there was plenty of room inside. What if people got discouraged and left?

Among those people waiting in the rain to vote: Wise. "And I'm such a shmo, I didn't bring an umbrella."

Worried that there are going to be major problems at the polls on Election Day? Get in line. Literally and figuratively.

There's something you can do other than handrub or wait in the rain: Bring a video camera/phone. See something untoward going down? Fire up your camera. See somebody getting the shaft/runaround when they're trying to check in/cast a ballot? Interview them, then post it to Videothevote.org.

Alex knows about Video the Vote. So why didn't you bring your camera? "I would have," he said. "But I just gave my video camera to my sister who is going to Nevada to Video the Vote." D'oh!
