I volunteered at a voter phone bank a couple of Friday nights ago. The event was hosted by the non-partisan organizations Equal Ground and the League of Women Voters though most of the members unofficially lean towards the left. Officially they’re not allowed to tell you which candidate to vote for. The representative from Stand United briefed us on what to do when we called the people (those who registered to vote via mail) on the lists we were given.

Since I live in Florida, we’re instructed to inform voters to reapply for that status each year because of a recent Florida State Senate bill passed into law. The Stand United represented gave invaluable advice: don’t choose “not to vote” if you don’t like either of the main candidates.
