Thanks to our governor.

Still, they are allowing registration today, too. Several people in line in front of me told the election judges that they had moved from the city and wanted to register today. All were allowed to register and vote.

Honestly, the only time I have seen such energy was when Barack announced his campaign and when he held a rally at Chicago's lakefront.
