'Daily Voting News' For July 31, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
It has been a couple weeks since we reminded all of our subscribers that voter registrations and voter registration data
bases have been a huge problem during the primary elections. There is no reason to believe that they will not be a huge
problem in November. One of the only ways to ensure a voter is registered is for that voter to check their registration.
We recommend every voter check now and then check again just before the voter’s state registration closes before
November. You can find out the date that your state is closing registration and who to check to ensure your registration
is still HERE: ...
