Vassar Professor of Political Science, Sarita Gregory, tells us about training 180 college students to be pollworkers in the historical 2008 presidential election.

Our guest is Vicky Perry, Voting Machine Coordinator for the Dutchess County Board of Elections.

We talk about engaging the democratic process through volunteering in voter registration drives, poll-watching, and door-to-door canvassing.

We take phone calls from local activist Marnie Andrews who has been a volunteer poll-watcher, and Gabe, a first-year college student who has done door-to-door- canvassing in this year’s presidential campaign.

We speak with Marc Molinaro, the incumbent, and Anne Rubin, the challenger, for the 103rd Assembly District seat. Vote in the primary on September 9th!
