If my voter registration disappears at the polls, I will not cast a provision ballot...

I will go immediately into Court. I had my registration pulled (illegally) once in my life. I take this seriously.

In Philadelphia they had special Courts set-up to handle Election Day issues. Your local "good government" group ("Citizens Union", "Committee of 70", "Coalition for Good Governance" ) or the Brennan Center will likely know what the rules and options are.
