Lawyer swat teams will be on site at Colorado polling places and elsewhere November 2 to help those turned away from the polls. If you live in a swing state, check out Colorado's massive effort and compare it with what's going on in your state. Make sure your state is up to snuff:

Democrats are deploying "armies of lawyers," while Republicans have recruited volunteer lawyers in the "hundreds" to man polling places throughout Colorado. The battalions of barristers are poised to cry foul if poll workers break the state's ever-developing election policies, as the parties interpret them....The party lawyers are expected to stand at polling places and gather contact information for voters who, for whatever reason, have problems casting ballots.

....Meantime, a nonpartisan election watchdog group is organizing a team of lawyers at a call center and in as many as 16 counties on Election Day. Fair Vote Colorado will have prewritten pleadings to be filed in court immediately so Coloradans turned away on Election Day can seek remedies before the polls close, said group spokesman Mark Eddy.

Why all the fuss? Colorado is a key swing state. And it has Amendment 36 on the ballot which, if it passes, will divide Colorado's 9 electoral votes according to the popular vote. No more winner takes all. Had this been the rule in 2000, Al Gore would have been President.
