Get out the vote in Brooklyn

OMG it’s tomorrow!! While Brokesters have been coming out in droves to help people affected by Hurricane Sandy, don’t forget that Election Day is TOMORROW, which means only 1.5 more days of binders full of women memes but also only 1.5 more days to convince voters in swing states to vote for Obama or that other guy…Gary Johnson?

Once you’ve figured out whether your polling place has moved, consider spending a few minutes or hours volunteering on a GOTV (Get Out The Vote) effort.

Obama For America is running free buses from Atlantic Terminal to Pennsylvania tomorrow for Election Day. Once in PA, you will canvass (talk to voters in person) people to ensure they vote. If you’re not keen on leaving Brooklyn, then head on down to a phone bank near you and call voters all day today and tomorrow! Hours are usually 9am-9pm (10pm on Election Day).
