REGISTER TO VOTE! And if you’re already registered, CHECK TO MAKE SURE! Why do I recommend checking? Because apparently some people are up to dirty tricks, and no less than four states—one of which is Ohio, but the other three are not yet known— have had their voter rolls quietly purged, as of October 1st. Purging is done to get rid of ineligible voters, people who’ve died or moved out of state since last election, but it’s not usually done this close to an election—-and such purgings don’t usually deliberately target college students and people living in low-income to middle-income areas of the city! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/18/85915/109
...read this article, and make sure something like this isn't awaiting YOU at the polls.
