*Idaho and Minnesota also allow you to register in person on Election Day
**North Carolina also allows you to register in person from 10/18-11/3

Exactly 4 WEEKS/28 DAYS to Election 2012, and the “Super Tuesday” of voter registration is here!  17 states and Washington, DC require voter registrations to be postmarked BY TODAY!  So RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

It’s true!  Arkansas and Hawaii were supposed to have voter registration deadlines TODAY, but because it’s Columbus Day and a national holiday (even though, EW, WHY?), their deadlines are now TOMORROW, October 9th!  Land of Opportunity, indeed, Arkansas!  Aloha, Hawaii!

If everyone on Facebook posted rants like this, the world would be a better place. Perhaps you’ll pass this on?

(And if you’re not yet registered to vote, do it!)

We are getting serious nerdwood for this guy. He breaks it down rather concisely and swiftly why there is NO EXCUSE for any eligible American to not vote. And uses Dr. Who and Twilight to do it! We doff our Boba Fett helmet to you, sir.

You must be crazy. What are you waiting for? This isn’t English class. You don’t get steeze points from your friends for waiting until the night before to write the paper. HALF of the United States will have expired voter registration deadlines by tomorrow (October 9) night! 29 DAYS to Election 2012! Click through and DO IT. Shoot us any questions here!

This TUESDAY, October 9th, is the voter registration deadline in 15 states and the District of Columbia.  Make sure to have your forms postmarked by Tuesday!  College students should check out www.countmore.org and the rest of you should head to www.longdistancevoter.org

33 DAYS until Election 2012, and we now have the first of three presidential debates under our belt.  And wasn’t last night’s a doozie?  We are pretty sure Big Bird registered to vote last night on our site when he got home.  Make sure YOUR voice is heard, and register if you haven’t yet!  Deadlines are starting THIS SATURDAY!  Same for you, college students!  So get to www.countmore.org and www.longdistancevoter.org to get started!

Think how sad you’ll be when all your friends get to vote and you don’t because you waited too long to register to vote.  Get on it, kids!
