Work-from Home Volunteers to Help Document '08 Elections

Action of the Day

Monday 11.17.08

Working from your home computer, here's how you can help with EDA Election '08 exit poll and monitoring projects.

We currently have 3 projects to choose from.

1. Entering exit poll questionnaires into a database entry form.

2. Researching voter turnout in conjunction with the exit poll project.

3. Entering election monitoring reports for Save-R-Vote.

In all cases we will provide you a coordinator contact, easy instructions, and an estimate of how much work/time is involved.
You choose how much time you can put in.

EVEP Data Entry

The Election Verification Exit Poll (EVEP) project conducted about 40 citizen exit polls in 12 different states in this presidential election.

Data analysts are working on the numbers, but they could use your help entering the exit poll responses into a master database.

Data entry is as simple as clicking selection boxes with a mouse.

The more people we have taking small portions of this work, the sooner we can complete the database and begin publishing results.

If you can help, please send an E-mail to Info@ElectionDefenseAlliance.org with "EVEP Data Entry" in the Subject line.

Or, leave a phone message with your contact information at: 510 275 5723.

Election Turnout Research

To augment and refine results of the citizen exit polls, this project is to collect information on voter participation rates by party registration, drawing on poll registers and related election day records. Work involves navigating government websites and possibly phone queries with county election admin and IT staff. Should take a few hours.
If you can help, please send an E-mail to Info@ElectionDefenseAlliance.org with "Turnout research" in the Subject line.
Or, leave a phone message with your contact information at: 510 275 5723.

Election Monitoring Data Entry

Data entry consists of reading monitor checklists and entering the remarks in a spreadsheet table.
Getting this information into a database will enable the project to quantify and analyze the problems identified on election day
in this survey of Riverside County precincts by EDA affiliate group, Save-R-Vote, one of the most experienced election monitoring groups in the country.
If you can help, please send an E-mail to Info@ElectionDefenseAlliance.org with "Monitoring checklist" in the Subject line.
Or, leave a phone message with your contact information at: 510 275 5723.
