1. Kicking it for Monday 2/4/08

And you better check your registrations too. Otherwise you might end up in that "provisional ballot" trash bin. You know only 25% of provisional ballots actually get counted.

The SOS has a new Verify Your Registration tool
Am I Registered?

Don't panic if you can't find yourself through your driver's licence number. Us older folks who have been registered for decades or at least pre-HAVA (2002)aren't in their database with a license number. You'll have to use you VUID to check your status.

You Voter Unique Identifier (VUID) can be located on your voter registration certificate in the box titled "VUID" which is 10 digits in length.
