Re: Fwd: Videographers in CO to help on election day



Yes, camcorders must be outside, unless you have credentials as press, and then there are procedures to be followed.  Boulder County has told me it is okay for camcorders to be outside, but inside the 100 foot limit for electioneering.  Video the Vote is nonpartisan.  However, I suspect that Video the Vote might have to negotiate with the County Clerk in any county they are in as to how close camcorders can be to the polling place (and still be outside).

Hi All,
Do you know people with camcorders that might be interested in helping with election protection?  If so, have them call Zia Parker, State Coordinator for VideotheVote.org. See her tel.no below.
Thanks.

Margit,
We have a significant shortage of videographers for Video the Vote on election day. Can members of your organization help out?

A couple of days ago, I sent VtheV an email with some questions on access of camcorders to poll sites, and your national coordinator Chris replied, then said he was thinking of a training in Denver and asked if I knew of places.  I made a couple of calls and sent some suggestions.  Then I learned you were the state coordinator. Yesterday, when at Denver Open Media, I found out about their conference room, free for nonprofits; I think you probably got that info.  I said if you need a nonprofit to sponsor you, my organization, Coloradoans for Voting Integrity, would be willing to do that. Deb at DOM said that would be okay. So if someone gives me the go-ahead on that, I will look into it.

Margit,
I'm not clear about this email.
Could you write or call me to clarify your intentions for V the V volunteers?I'll be available tomorrow from around noon onward.

FIRST - Just Vote Colorado trainings are being held tonight in Boulder at CU Law Building and at the ACLU Building in Denver. There's another training  Saturday morning 9 ­ 11 at the ACLU building in Denver,  400 Corona Street.  Additional trainings are being scheduled, including one remote training Monday November 3rd noon-1:30 pm.

OK - Margit Johansson meet Zia Parker, Zia ­ Margit.

Margit is CFVI Chairwoman, and is trying to pick a space and time for a Video the Vote training in Denver or Boulder.
Zia, I know you're trying to assemble 5-6 teams of 2-3 people, for whom training would be necessary. While any Video the Vote volunteer would benefit from the JVC training, if Margit, or someone from Video the Vote, does arrange a location and time for another training, specific for the teams, JVC would come and train a handful in the poll monitoring function as well.
