Does anyone else get a wrong birthday when checking their registration at voteforchange.com?
It just happened to me. My birthday is correct when I checked my voter registration on my state's web site.

Who knows? I'm gonna doublecheck my registration, AGAIN, tomorrow. In person. At my county's election office.

Because I know that if my birthday in my voter registration is wrong, I'm vulnerable to purging - they'll claim my information's bad, thus they need to remove my name from the rolls. I wonder if somebody's doing this on purpose?

1. Mine is wrong
The day is right, but the month is wrong.

2. Given the state you are in...
I would definitely straighten that out... and get the word out to all you come in contact with to check on their registration!

CO is a major battleground, and this crap could well be on purpose.

3. I'm also in CO and got that message at first...
I had forgotten to put the / as they indicated in their example. Could that have been the problem or is it the date itself that's wrong?

4. Voteforchange.com isn't always right
According to them, my birthdate is November 30th. According to the NC Board of Elections, my birthdate is listed as correct.

10. I got Nov 30th also...
I went to the county offices and checked my registration info and it's correct. Methinks VFC's software is buggy.

5. Some people were saying their birthdate was showing as November 30th.
I don't think they're right on this info. If your state has online registration, check your status there.

6. It was doing this yesterday also, try this site also.
http://www.canivote.org/

It is good to check in person, but that website was having issues last night, something about Oct 30th I think. I found mine later, was fine.

7. Its obvious there is problem in their software somewhere ...
The origin database contains the correct information, but somehow their display routine is not using this value. (I suspect a typo in the code -- referencing the wrong variable or an incorrect integer constant)

8. That sounds likely.
Probably grabbing a date from the wrong column in a database table.
