Well I'm registered back in my home district, and have voted in previous elections. I'm just not registered where I'm living right now, on campus.

Like I said, call your county Board of Elections. They might even have a website... or perhaps the PA Secretary of State's website would be of some assistance.

I'm so not voting this year. It was a big waste of my time last time around. Besides, its not like Maryland's elections are all that important anyway...and the Dems are strong enough so they don't need my vote...;)

That's what the dead are for, right?

Georgia has an issue on the ballot restricting the use of eminent domain. I'm voting for that reason alone.

So does Florida.

I received my absentee and was pleasantly surprised to see that on the ballot.

Peachy. Missed the deadline for absentee voting. I'd have to print out an application and mail it in first, and the votes would have to be received by today. Dammit all.


I never gave a thought to having to register again for anything until I first saw that notice in a day-old newspaper, "Today's the last day to register to vote."

I will be fully registered for sure by 2008.

Why wait? Register so that you can vote in other elections, if your jurisdiction holds them. Some people don't realize that many districts in Ohio have elections three or four times per year (special, primary, special, general).

Vote Often

So how often may I vote?

:D Where I live, the Repubicans are having much higher early voting turnout than Dems. Might be an indicator that the conservatives will do well.
