WHOIS "weareultraviolet.org" anyway? Why the disinformation?

I got an e-mail that is very misdirecting with so few days before the election.

"Reminder: You must register to vote"


NO TRUE if you are already registered. Also below, why tell people to re-register. Instead, tell them to check their registration status. It is important to convey accurate and precise information, NOT misdirect people in the direction of thinking they may not be able to vote.

This is a notice from UltraViolet's Voter Registration Center: Voter registration deadlines are approaching soon. In order to vote in this year's presidential election, you must be registered to vote.

Take a moment to register or re-register to vote today by clicking this link and going to our Voter Registration Center.

If you have moved in the last year, or gotten married or divorced and changed your name, you may need to re-register to vote in the 2012 election. And if you have never registered to vote before, you need to register to vote in this election.

You can also find helpful information at our website, including information about where and when to vote, and what you need to bring to the polls. You can also check your current registration status.

If you wait too long to register or re-register to vote, you could miss out on this year's election. Don't let that happen. Join millions of other women at the polls on November 6, 2012, and make sure women's voices are heard.

Register to vote

Thanks,

Nita, Shaunna and Kat, the UltraViolet team

PS: Forward this e-mail to five friends today.


The necessary info gets into the e-mail eventually, but not before the misdirections.
