Daily Voting News For September 13, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
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 good HERE: ...
