Suicide Girls is working with award-winning journalist Greg Palast to promote his campaign to make sure your vote counts on Election Day. Palast and activist, attorney, broadcaster and writer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. teamed up to investigate how those who would call themselves patriots have plotted to steal your vote, and have penned an adult comic/voter guide, entitled Steal Back Your Vote, to help combat the widespread vote suppression they found.
We spoke with Greg Palast (see Suicide Girls interview), who encourages readers to be proactive to make sure your votes aren't just cast, but are counted too. Like one in five Coloradans, if you do find your name missing from electoral roles, Palast gives the SG massive some excellent tips on how you can get your vote restored (and cautions against allowing yourself to be fobbed off with a "bouncing, bogus" provisional ballot).
"One thing I like about Suicide Girls...You're talking to a group of people who are like in your face. Women who don't want to eat shit and are proud of themselves. Well now let's extend that to voting," says Palast. "They don't want you to vote. You're a young new voter, they got all kinds of goddamn rules to make sure you don't vote. They don't like you. They don't want you there. OK, well get in their face. You gotta vote because they don't want you to. You got to vote early because they're trying to screw you and you gotta screw 'em back. So they steal your vote, you steal it back."

That picture does not properly represent the "Suicide Girls". Where is the naked chick? This is the internet.
