Below is an email from a person who has been doing poll watching for early voting (and Grace Period Registration and Voting) at the Brookens Administration Building in Urbana for quite a number of days now, and has been making a record of the hundreds of people who have been turned away because of the obstacle course that he's created over
there.

I give you this as an attachment as well.<br>
You email lots of people. Maybe send this out:<br>
</div><div style="margin-bottom:0in;">If you have a grace voting <b>application</b>,
go to the clerk's office today before 5 PM. You can vote
provisional. If you get the ballot, get to post office before
closing. (Heard this from clerk.) <br>
<br>
Keep all
correspondence with the county clerk's office. All of it, even
that
green carbon, IS worth something. It is proof of what happened
to you. Write out your story. Tell your story to everyone. Do not
feel embarrassed. There are hundreds of you. But you must speak
up. </div><div>
