(Signal boosting, though I don't know how many people I have on my friends list in Philadelphia.)

News broke yesterday that over 30,000 Philadelphia voters were sent postcards with incorrect polling place locations. The postcards include the slogan "Get informed. Know your rights. Be a voter." The sender is identified as the "Philadelphia Voter Education and Information Initiative." The group that sent them was well-meaning but clearly blew it. Two links below have more info.

Below is from the urgent e-mail sent by the Committee of Seventy:

Seventy is urging all voters to confirm their correct polling place locations online at www.votespa.com
or by calling 1-855-SEVENTY (1-855-738-3689).

Further, we request your help minimizing the number of voters who may travel a great distance to discover they are at the wrong polling place. Forward this email. Tweet the hotline number. Advise your friends, family and work colleagues. Polls are open 7am to 8pm on Tuesday.
