So I re-registered today in GA.

I moved to a different county so had to. The women in the office were very pleasant; there were 3 other citizens in there (so much for voter registration day; it was a bit past lunchtime). Know what I got? A slip of paper with the address of where I should vote. I was told I'd be on the rolls but it would take 4-6 weeks to get the official registration card because they're behind, so may not receive anything official prior to 6 November.
Do you think I should worry?
Since I had been registered in a neighboring county, no one asked me for anything, including any form of ID.

Kinda weird.

1. Did they say what will happen if you're not on the rolls?

Will you be able to vote a provisional ballot? If so, how do they handle the "validate the provisional ballot within 2 days" thing?

3. All I was told is that I'd be able to vote. Period. I'm going

to do some checking. I'm feeling uncomfortable b/c it'd be so easy for someone to tell me I'm not eligible, and on election day, who'd help me?

5. do you have an online access in your state?

I live in New Mexico ... I can go on line and check and see if I am registered. Thank goodness I am!

9. welcome aboard...

2. Good grief.

4-6 weeks. Should you be worried? I am worried for you. That's wrong.

4. Not good. Poorly run if their true intent is to get people registered to vote.

[babylonsister]

15. Or a backlog because so many people have registered? I'm hoping. nt

6. the only way i can answer your question:

what is your skin tone?

[babylonsister]

14. I don't really know if that was the issue. The ladies in the

office were black, I'm white. I felt like yelling, "GO OBAMA" on the way out, but thought that might be over-the top.

7. Online link to voter status

So you can check your status in your county. Give it a day or two.

If you don't get the card in time, make sure you have 2 forms of picture ID for the polls. Just to be sure.

8. I'd also take a utility bill, even if your driver's license has the correct address on it. n/t

permit/ID card within 60 days of moving."

13. My wallet got stolen so I have my brand new address on my new

license, so I'm covered there. Thanks, jody!

12. Nevermind; what to bring on 6 Nov. Got it! Thanks! nt
