Registered to vote, by the skin of my teeth!

The deadline totally snuck up on me! I was registered to vote, but in the wrong county, since we moved in March.

After a bunch of running around and hoopla, Cats directed me to the Post Office at the Nashville Airport, it's open until midnight. So hubby met me there after his school and we got our registrations postmarked at 8:30 last night!

That was close! I told my husband that if we weren't able to register to vote, I would feel forever responsible if Obama is elected president (I don't even like to type those words!) and FQ would belittle us on Jude2 since he knew about it. LOL!

Last week we stopped in at the board of election and voted early...

We were told locally that the deadline to register in Alabama is within ten days of election. Are deadlines for voting regional or is there a national law?

Since our deadline was on Monday the 6th, I'd believe they were regional.

Here is an interesting state by state guide - they are all different:

For the state of VA on the deadline day of 10/6 there were already more than 306,000 new voters in Virginia since the beginning of the year, according to the State Board of Elections. (This figure wouldn't include the ones who registered the last day). Of the new voters already registered, 42 percent were under the age of 25.
