I live in California so I don't foresee this being a problem here with the presidential election because Barack Obama has such a big lead. It is highly unlikely for California to vote Republican in Presidential elections without a party candidate being from the state. I wanted to pass along this website and information for those of you who are in “battleground” states or areas where they have been instances of voter intimidation.
They want to record situations where people were not allowed to vote or intimidated into not voting. You can also be a driver, dispatcher or blogger, uploader/tech support check out:

Sign up to Video the Vote and join a growing network of Americans working together to monitor and improve our election systems. We are concerned citizens, amateur videographers, voting rights activists, and filmmakers united by a commitment to strengthening democracy through citizen oversight. And we need your help:
Videographers - Get dispatched to cover problems in your area or go out and document on your own.
Dispatchers - Monitor the national voter hotlines and then send out videographers to get the stories.
Drivers - Help videographers get to where they're going.
Uploaders/tech support - Make sure volunteer videos get online and to the media as fast as possible.
Bloggers - Review volunteer footage and spread the word about the best clips.
