Everybody registered to vote?

[yewberry]

Are you 100% sure? Know where your polling place is, if you have one, and what kind of ID you might need?

Now is the time!

[The Wielding Truth]

1. Yes and spouse.

[yewberry]

3. Two thumbs up for you! nt

[Motown_Johnny]

2. I got my new card last week

I'm good

[yewberry]

4. Wow, a card?

WA votes by mail, so we don't have cards anymore, that I know of.

[Motown_Johnny]

5. Well, a "Registration Certificate", but it is the size and shape of a card

with my polling location and all the info for my precinct, district etc.


It came with an application for permanent absentee voter applications. I guess if I sent that in I would be sent an application for a absentee ballot every election cycle. Still thinking about it. I kinda like going to vote. I would have if having that thing sent to me somehow screwed with my ability to cast a ballot on election day.

[yewberry]

7. I actually do kind of miss going out and voting.

But voting by mail is easier, and probably cheaper.

22. Don't know what the rules are

where you live but here in California you can take your ballot to your polling place and drop it in the ballot box. Seems to satisfy the need to go to a polling place but you don't have to wait in line!.

[Motown_Johnny]

37. that could work

but since I tend to show up at about 7:00 am anyways I rarely need to wait in line.

2008 was an exception, damn that was a crazy one!

[justabob]

6. mine came a couple of weeks ago

woohoo!

[yewberry]

9. Good for you! nt

[ChazII]

8. I am 100% sure since my house

is my polling place. My family votes by mail.

Thanks for reminding others, though. It is good to be reminded to have proper ID.

[yewberry]

11. Another mail-in voter here.

I don't think Goodspaceguy will be an option for me this year. I moved to a different county.

[ileus]

10. Since 1988....already voted once this year.

[yewberry]

12. This OP was actually sort of a response to a DUer who was purged.

I guess it can happen to anyone.

[sakabatou]

13. Already sent mine in (mail-in vote)

[yewberry]

14. No flies on you! nt

[sakabatou]

27. O.o?

What?

[yewberry]

28. No?

The implication is that you are quick and accomplish things in a timely way.

[sakabatou]

33. Never heard of that expression.

[TBF]

15. I got my card and was able to vote in the Texas primary

a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully they will not de-activate me before November but you never know with republicans ...

[yewberry]

17. Trust but verify?

If that's what it takes, that's what I'll do.

[HockeyMom]

16. I wouldn't trust absentee voting in Florida

and especially in Collier County, Rick Scott's "hometown", and a place where they have refused to stop the voter purge. It's as Red, Tea Party, Republican as you can get.

[yewberry]

18. I'd probably feel the same.

Voting in Florida looks like a contact sport these days.

[ellenfl]

21. everyone should check. (also, pls rec this thread)

i called a couple of months ago to inquire about new cards and we got our new vr cards a couple of weeks ago. imo, in florida, it pays to be in a blue county.

35. If Ion Sancho weren't my Supervisor of Elections, I would worry

But his goal is fair elections for every eligible voter and he works hard to make sure that it happens.

Ion Sancho appeared on PolticsNation and on Hardball in the last few weeks to speak against the voter purge pRick Scott is trying to do.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Yes. LOOK UP YOUR COUNTY ELECTION ORG ONLINE...it lists your polling place,

will have a sample ballot for your precinct, will list last minute polling place changes, will give updates on the VOTING REGISTRATION TRICKS BEING PULLED BY THE REPUBLICANS, etc.

[yewberry]

23. You can use the handy-dandy link in the OP, too.

Point & click, ta-daaa!

[xxqqqzme]

20. Registered 85 people over

Memorial Day weekend. More than half registered as Democrats! Registered a 17yr old who turns 18 on November 1! Her first vote.

[yewberry]

25. Good for You! You'd probably get arrested for that in Florida.

[RebelOne]

24. No problem here. My voting place is the high school just around the corner from me.

I do not even have to show my voting card, just my license. And they look my address up on their computers.

[yewberry]

26. So far, I seem to be preaching to the choir.

And that is GOOD news!

[NoPasaran]

29. Yes

Voted twice in May (different elections, I don't live in Chicago!)

[yewberry]

31. Vote early, vote often, right?

In this case, it actually applies!

[lunatica]

30. I just voted absentee in the primaries

So I'm good.

[yewberry]

32. I guess with an absentee ballot

the signal that there might be a problem would be the absence of a ballot, eh?

[99Forever]

34. WTG Yewberry..

... nice followthro. K&R

[yewberry]

38. Thanks.

This is really important, and if it takes a little nagging, well, then I'm happy to nag.

[MineralMan]

36. Yup. Just checked my registration last week.

Everyone should do the same, before any registration deadlines. I do it before each election.

[yewberry]

39. Good on you.

I don't live in a place that's likely to purge voters, but some DUers do. Better to fix problems while there's still time, eh?

[MineralMan]

40. These days, it's easy in most jurisdictions to check your registration.

I remember when I had to go to the county clerk's office and have them search the physical records. I checked then, too.

[Wounded Bear]

41. Thanks a bunch. Checked mine...

and forwarded it to another board I frequent.

[yewberry]

42. Thanks for spreading the word! nt
