'Daily Voting News' For August 1, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
I’ve added a new suggestion to this reminder so I am going to send it a second day in a row. [Thank you for the timely
suggestion Jody] 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. We urge voters who find themselves purged
from the registration roles to write a letter of complaint to their local Board of Supervisors, especially their own
representative, with a CC to their SoS, the local newspaper Editor, and their congressional members. If those
responsible for representing the citizenry start receiving such letters they might act to eliminate the cause. You can
find out the date that your state is closing registration and who to check to ensure your registration is still HERE: ...
