Damn The Man!!!
I can't fricking believe this. After weeks of trying to verify my voters registration, going on every website and calling every number I could find... I just found out that I am in fact NOT registered to vote. For months I've been posting Myspace bulletins reminding people to register with links to help them do it and tips for voting day and now... ironically... as someone at the Election Board's office told me, I'm "S.O.L." I can't even vote on a provisional ballot because the vote will be thrown out once they verify that I am not an active registered voter. ARRRG! I am so pissed! The last time I voted, I went to the place I thought I was supposed to vote and they said I had to go to the next town over since I had moved. I wonder if that vote even counted! I bet that one got thrown out too. WTF? Why do I always have so much trouble with anything involving my address? Millions of people move around frequently, they can't all be screwed out of things because of their address change. The sad part is that I bet this is all my fault. I can't remember registering to vote. I remember going to the Vote For Change website and starting to fill out some sort of forms. But I don't remember anything else and I never got any emails confirming what I did. I bet my dumbass ran into some kind of glitch where I hit a "process" button and nothing happened, so I just decided to try again later but ultimately forgot... kind of like the traffic court dates I missed at the end of last year and the fines I forgot to pay. What is my problem? Even so, just because I had trouble registering doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to vote. I bet there are thousands of people who aren't smart enough to register properly or on time... should they all be denied their rights as American citizens? It just doesn't seem fair.
