This is a great, fun chance to do your part. Trick or Vote is a nationwide nonpartisan costume canvass taking place on Halloween. So in Pittsburgh, on Oct 31st at 5pm, costumed canvassers will meet up to get out the vote during Trick-Or-Treat!
The Post-Gazette gave us a shout out as the place to volunteer this election. What are you waiting for? Add your name to the list! The more volunteers we have the more we can do (obviously), and there’s a lot to do!
Tags: election, post-gazette, volunteer, voteIf you’re gonna do all that work to get people registered to vote, to learn about their candidates, and get out to the polls, then you’ve gotta take it that last step of ELECTION PROTECTION to make sure that all those votes get counted.
That’s why we’re going to be at the County Council Hearing TUESDAY to encourage them to look into the authenticity of the new electronic voting machines’ software.
JOIN US TUESDAY and let officials know that the voters in their county want their votes counted!

We’re asking everyone who works downtown to pop over for the meeting after work! Stay long enough to miss rush hour, and contribute to the collective concern represented there to our elected county officials.

Excerpt from VoteAllegheny’s press release:
“Because the ES&S iVotronic voting machines used in Allegheny County provide no way
for voters to personally verify that their votes have been correctly and accurately recorded,
voters must trust the iVotronic program code to be correct. The inspection and certification
process carried out by the Secretary of the Commonwealth is meaningless unless the County
ensures the machines run exactly the same program the Secretary certifies.”
“Election Commission Bails Out Voting Machine Maker In Time for May Primary,” March 11, 2004
“EVEREST: Evaluation and Validation of Election-Related Equipment, Standards, and Testing,” Sections 6.3 and 7.2.2
See you downtown!
PA League
Get yourself orientated to be able to get out that vote for this election!
Sure, you probably think that people would have to be crazy to not vote in an election that’s received as much attention as this one has, but you would also be surprised. People need to be encouraged, to know that others think it is important, to overcome apathy, and to vote down the whole ballot, dagnabit.
So, to be able to motivate and mobilize those voters for the future of PA,
come to our volunteer orientation!
Some things that will be covered:
- history of the League
- the Fall strategy for election turnout
- the keys to successful voter mobilization
- volunteer opportunities before and on election day
Any questions, email field-pa@theleague.com

Mac and Terry will be crawling the crawl looking for unregistered voters — stop them and say hello if you need an absentee ballot form, haven’t filled out a voter pledge yet, or just want to give them a thumbs up.
Also, if you’d like to volunteer to help them at this event, fill out the volunteer form at the bottom of our webpage!
Friday August 1st, 6pm, Penn & Fairmount headed downtown
