In regards to the voter registration thread: you're in Minnesota, right? I'm sure you've been through it before, so you're aware, but we may have the most liberal voter registration laws in the country. Seriously, I'm fairly sure the only way they'd not let you vote on election day is if you didn't bother to go to the polls.
Not registered? No problem! Same-day registration! We'll sign you up right now!
At the wrong polling place? No problem! You can have a provisional ballot!
I love it. It's part of the reason we consistently have the highest voter turnout in the nation.
That, and we're just better than everywhere else, of course.
Ha...I just checked out the Vote for Change site, and it told me what I need to register to vote on Election Day. I emphasized the part related to your wonderful story. I think it's great.
To register at the polling place on Election Day, you must have authorized proof of residence. This includes: a valid Minnesota driver's license, learner's permit or receipt of either with your current address located in the polling place precinct; a valid Minnesota ID or receipt with current address located in the polling place precinct; a witness or voucher by another voter of the same precinct; registration in the same precinct indicating a previous address. (If you are a student, you can show your address in the precinct by using an ID.); tribal ID issued by the tribal government of a tribe recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior containing your name, address in the precinct, signature and picture.
