The ACLU of Mississippi is announcing a new non-partisan coalition called Protect the Vote 2008, launched to educate and protect voters in the state.

The organization has a toll-fee number that will be staffed by legal professionals on Election Day -- one week from tomorrow -- to answer questions and field problems, and they will also be acting as poll watchers.

If you would like to volunteer, call Yumeka Rushing (Protect the Vote 2008 coordinator) at 601-201-5311 or contact her via e-mail at [e-mail missing].
