Taking Volunteers to Check the Rolls

This is the story from today:

Van Hollen sued the state Government Accountability Board Wednesday, saying it must crosscheck voter names with driver’s license records for voters who registered to vote or changed their addresses on or after Jan. 1, 2006.
Such checks were required under federal law as of that date, but the board didn’t start performing them until last month because of technical problems.

Nat Robinson, the board’s elections administrator, said the board’s reading of the suit is that the attorney general is asking local clerks to check the names of everyone who filed registration papers on or after Jan. 1, 2006 - more than 1 million people.

Department of Justice officials have said they want election officials to check only the names of those who filed paperwork by mail or with special registration deputies that work for volunteer groups. That would affect about 241,000 voters.

Per a suggestion by commenter, Steve Austin, I am hereby calling for volunteers to help the County Clerks check the rolls. 

I’ll start.  I’m willing to volunteer to spend time checking the rolls in Washington County. 

If you are willing to help your county, please indicate so in the comments of this post.  Also, please indicate your county.  I will help put each of you in contact with your County Clerk, if you haven’t done so already.  Let’s not let the lack of manpower be a reason for not doing this important work. 

Note: I believe that the voter rolls are actually maintained by the municipalities, but the County Clerks will get you to the right people.
