The Republican-appointed county clerk, Gordy Hulten, has been implementing a number of different types of voter suppression in this election. 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.  (See References at the end.)

    I give you this as an attachment as well.

    You email lots of people. Maybe send this out:

    
    If you have a grace voting application,
      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.)  

      

      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.
