    If only I had that shirt today....

    If I were a few months older I could have vote... kind of sucks considering I could make a better and well informed vote than the majority of my classmates that voted today.

        I just got back. Got my sticker to prove it.

        This registration thing is kind of a drag. To me there should be little or no pre-registration limit. I could see them making you jump through a few extra hoops if its close to election day but to me NO ONE should be not allowed to vote that is of legal status. Something the Motor Voter legislation was supposed to help but its not enough. Someone should take this issue on. And fix it.

            I was allowed to register on the spot at my campus.


            But it actually seemed like a bad idea to me. Doesn't it mean you could vote more than once?

            Let's say I registed and voted in my hometown. Then I came here saying I havn't registered yet, and did this.

                    Hey me to.

                    This is the only election I have followed enough and cared enough to vote.
                    I don't see what the problem is, why more people don't vote.
                    It took about 20 minutes which was exactly 10 times longer than my first......................

                            just got back from voting...

                            no line which was cool.

                            yea it really simple to vote, i dont see why people dont do it.
                            then again i dont feel that people who are not informed on the candidates or issues should vote. regardless of party



                            like i say, if you can vote but dont, then you have no friggen right to complain.

                                I don't know. I can see where there could be checks and balances to avoid that. I know they have "provisional votes" that are reviewed after the fact. This is maybe what you ended up doing. The number is small and allows cross checking to see if they show up anywhere else. And you could like require some documentation of an unregistered voter. Like say two picture ID's and a recent power, rental reciept or car registration.... there would be ways to do this.

                                Most of the reports I am hearing of complaints are mostly people that just did not take care of changing their registration when they moved. And they are irrate about it. But thats not the kind of dumb arse thing I talking about. Those people can at least go back to thier previous address precinct and vote. I mean its their mistake. But they might not be allowed to vote in local elecional issues. But what I am proposing here is that anyone who can prove he is a US citizen in good standing should at least be allowed to vote a National election vote. To be checked later and verified. We would be talking about such a small percentage it would really not be significant. But at least they would be allowed to vote. And thats important.
