Neighborhood Networks, a local group that describes itself as "a culturally and racially diverse organization of Philadelphians dedicated to advancing social equality, economic justice and resource stewardship by influencing political decision-making from a grassroots level," is offering a little advice on how to vote today.  Gloria Gilman, the group's chairwoman, circulated this email yesterday:

The following alert is issued after confirmation of the problem with The Committee of Seventy:

If you first push the Obama button and then push the straight democratic button, you will cancel out your vote for Obama on the voting machines used in Philly. This is because it will be as if you had pushed the Obama button twice: the first time selecting him and the second time unselecting him. If you want to vote the straight dem ticket, then just push that button and it will include Obama. If you want to select Obama individually then you need to select all of your candidates individually. Please tell all of your friends and neighbors.
