OMG I am not registered, double check your registration.

[RazzleCat]

I have been an election judge. I have voted in every election including tax and school board. For some reason I decided to check my registration on line this morning at the Secretary of States web site. It came back that I am not registered at the address submitted, the one I have lived at for 14 years. I have no idea how I dropped off the registration roll, but I am glad I checked to ensure my right. Please check your registration, ensure your still their. I will have to stop by a library on my way home to repair this horror. I live in the State of Missouri, so I can check on line, only took 3 minutes. FYI, not a felon, pay taxes, no moves, no change of name, nothing I can think of that could cause my removal from the rolls.

1. Might just be the database,

But everyone who can check should check

2. Registration is an odd custom

That registration thing is something I've never really understood. It just sounds like an efficient way to prevent the less educated from participating. I wonder if there is any country here in Europe with such rules. I doubt it.

3. Thanks for the reminder.

I've double checked MY registration and everything's good to go on my end. It's just too bad that I'm not in a swing state but hey, at least I might help the down ticket!

is there any way you can clear your registration up though? Does this mean Missouri is doing some suspicious voter purges?

4. You have been a victim of vote caging.

They don't care if you are eligible or not. They just need to be able to challenge your vote.

Reregister and then bring it to your local media and newspaper. Write a letter to the editor, and call your local news station.

5. Thanks for the heads up....

I checked for both me and my husband and we are registered.

6. VERY IMPORTANT- and not hard- to check! From Ted Kennedy:

At the link you enter your info and it will check for you.

Dear Demokatgurrl,

I have a simple but extremely important question to ask you:

Are you registered to vote?

If not -- or if you're not sure -- go right now to VoteForChange.com to get all the information you need to make sure you're able to vote on Election Day, November 4th.

The deadline for voter registration is rapidly approaching in most states. It's very important that you and everyone you know are registered in time to cast your vote:

Barack Obama and I share a strong dedication to bringing more people into the political process.

One of the few positive results of the Vietnam War is the irresistible momentum it gave to Congress to pass legislation lowering the voting age from 21 to 18. I was proud to be a part of that effort in Congress in 1970, and today millions of young people across the country can express their support for Barack Obama in the voting booth.

Senator Obama has continued his commitment to expand the electorate over the past year and a half. He's reached out to Americans of all ages, races, religions and ideologies, urging them to become involved in this momentous election and have their say about the future of our nation.

The response has been extraordinary. Barack Obama has generated as much enthusiasm as I've ever seen in a presidential campaign. But we have to turn that enthusiasm into action.

Make sure you and everyone you know are registered to vote before the upcoming deadlines:

The stakes in this election couldn't be higher.
In a little more than a month, the American people will choose which direction our nation will take over the next four years. This choice will have far-reaching consequences for our economy, our standing in the world, and our children's future.

You and I and many millions of Americans know that the right choice is Barack Obama. But please, make sure that you and everyone you know are able to cast your votes in November. It could make all the difference for our country and our future.

Sincerely,

Senator Edward M. Kennedy

7. Yes I know I have to re-register

I grabbed my passport, and utility bills so I can ensure my re-registration. Funny I am still on all of the political mailing lists, and of course the tax rolls. Maybe I was "caged", but once again, I have no history that could make me easy to remove. Not a felon, (no problems with the courts), no moves, no name changes. Just the same name and location for 14 years.
