Sorry-Can’t help.
Slan,
D.
I think I am registered.
I registered last month via mail in Washington from Utah. If it went through, I will be absentee voting from London. But they never told me if it went through and I haven’t found how to check yet. Help appreciated, PM please.
My first (and only) election in 2000 was absentee also, located in Oregon and voting for NY. I have still never seen the inside of a voting booth…
The insides of voting booths are really overrated as entertainment. They’re about like they look from the outside - white (or off-white) canvas curtains hanging from a spindly metal frame. There’s a metal shelf on which sits the voting punch thingy, with a puncher hanging from a chain so no one steals it. There’s not much more to see. I make it a point never to spend much time there.

Everyone in this house over 18 will be voting, and encouraging everyone we know to vote too.

You got curtains? We don’t got no curtains here.
Been registered continuously since '80. Wife has been registered ditto since she got her US citizenship.
We both figure we don’t have a right to complain about the government if we don’t try to change things. ![]()
Edit: Neither one of us has missed voting in any election, either. If we can’t find someone to vote FOR, we can usually find someone to vote AGAINST. ![]()
The few choices we really have in America make me sad.
Will if it isn’t the Cranster! 'sup, baby? ![]()
My very first election made me choose between Richard Nixon, George Wallace and Hubert Humphrey.
What’s amazing is that I continued to vote despite that.
The price of prescription drugs, actually.
Cran, you’re back! Great to see you again! ![]()

Cranberry!!! How nice to see you again. You look GREAT! I see the travelling has done wonders.
yo cranberry, nice to see you around again! ![]()
I’m ahead of you Dale–I handed voter registration forms to my new neighbors two weekends ago. My daughter, a recent immigrant to California, assures me she’s registered and planning to vote there.
I take a vacation day in order to work at the polls. It’s a 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. job and we’re not allowed to leave during that time. I’ve been through some state and primary elections but this will be my first presidental election. I hope it’s better than the 35% turnout we usually get–I’m told it will be.
I take a flute and whistle and I’m still trying to talk the judge of elections into bringing his bassoon. ![]()

What a crock! I went to Declare Yourself and took the time to fill out the form. When I clicked on the link to download “[my] form”, it gave me a BLANK form. I wonder if they are harvesting personal information for some fraudulent thing.
Sorry can’t help you with this one, I live south by norlth of border. But at 58 I have exercised my right to vote in every federal and provincial election since I was eighteen. In the Canadian arm services you are allowed to vote regardless of age when at that time the age for voting in Canada was 21.
Of all my rights, this is the one that I hold the most dearly to me.

I am already registered to vote, in the infamous state of Florida no less. And this being the first Presidential election I’m eligible to vote for even.
Of all my rights, this is the one that I hold the most dearly to me.

Me, too. I just wish it felt more like my vote actually meant something.

Whoa. If you’ll take a moment to do a google search (I’d recommend these keys words: declare yourself voter registration ) you’ll find that this his a nonpartisan and completely legit outfit. It was founded by Norman Lear, famous liberal, but is in partnership with Clear Channel Communications, famous non-liberals. I did some research before I put up that page of links.
What you encountered was most likely a technical thing.
