National Voter Registration Day

All evidence points to Election Day 2012 becoming a total mess. Between new Voter ID laws, untrained or confused poll workers and various groups that plan to "monitor" (read that intimidate) likely Democratic voters, nothing is assured no matter how badly the Mittanic campaign looks right now.

The twitter tells me today is National Voting Registration Day, so click over to nationalvoterregistrationday.org where you can check your registration status and register if necessary. Also check this voting rights site for new Voter ID requirements.

If you're sure you're properly credentialed and registered and want to cast an early or absentee vote, here's a handy list of early voting dates and absentee ballot request deadlines.

Take nothing for granted and please don't procrastinate.
