Hoo-rah! It's my birthday!

My birthday gift from the Monroe County Democrats?

Not submitting my voter registration form that I filled out over four months ago.

Which means: I can't vote tomorrow.

Possibly the biggest event to hit my generation (yes, this is in fact bigger than Furby), and I will be unable to participate in it.

Mother. Fuck.

oh shit. Did you call the board and see if there was aaaaaaanything they can do?

[telepathicbotox]

Nada.

Called and checked. Nothing.

[sidekickrita]

Oh fuck. I'm sorry. It seems like there as GOT to be something that can be done you know? That's just not right.

[telepathicbotox]

Yeah, it isn't right. But this is Indiana. Wise decisions don't happen here.

At the very least, now I know to make a bigger stink about doing same-day registration and voting. Now...to figure out who to make a stink to about it. I suppose my local congressional representative...

Seems to me your only other option is to go back to Marion County to vote? Unless you weren't registered there before. I know that's what Isaac and Mel did.

I'm sorry to hear that.

You can request a form at the voting location so you can still vote... Then when they realize you DID register, your vote will count....

GO VOTE!!!!!!

[lovingthekiller]

ps I can't remember the specific name for the form, but I saw it on the news and they suggested it to people with your problem.

That's called a provisional ballot. However, that only applies if the paperwork got lost, but was scrounged up past the registration cut-off date; they always date the forms when they're submitted, so it would still be viable for a late turn-in. However, I called the Monroe County Democrats, and they said they had NO copies of the registration form I filled out whatsoever, and thus nothing I could submit late. The only way I'd be able to vote today is if this state did same-day registration/voting.

Hey don't feel bad. I can't vote either. It sucks. At least in my case, it really wouldn't have mattered if I voted because I wasn't voting for Obama or McCain though. Happy Birthday anyway! I know it's belated...but dammit I try!
