4. THAT is the THE most important POST of the WEEK!!!
I'm kicking, and nominating for Home Page. The common thread in most of the disenfranchisement this time is screwing with the polling places and registrations. CRUCIAL, CRUCIAL, CRUCIAL, that EVERYONE checks their polling place BEFORE November 2nd!!!

kick
:kick:

5. That site gave me incorrect info
The name of the school is not correct. I know where I vote. Also, the map was wrong too! it just had a star that seemed to be randomly placed in the middle of the zip code area.

Anyone else having problems with this site?

Misinformation is worse than no information.

9. Problems with mine too
but minor
It shows the star in the wrong place, does not show the actual road that the polling place is on.
however it did tell the proper name of the place.

Davidsonville elementary school. zip 21035

this is the first year in many that I have not been involved at the polling place for the voting.

I miss it.
I will be there again next time.
Plus, the money they pay me is always donated to a certain local charity... now I have to spend my own money. LOL

7. This is wrong for me too
The place I got was my polling place before redistricting. The place I've voted in since then is a few blocks in the other direction (and is the one listed on my registration card).

11. State of Michigan Sites
This is a brilliant PHP based page linked by my own Waterford Township, and linking to the Michigan State Gov pages:

http://www.sospublius.org/

It tells you when, where, and even which equipment they're using with Quicktime clips of how to enter your info correctly. Go Michigan!

13. Mine was wrong too!
I went to the site earlier today. It showed me a place about 30 miles away in another county!

This is through the State, not third party. Mine was dead-on correct; I just ran through it as a test :)

Question Authority. A 'badge' I used to wear on a bandana back in high school in 1982 (insert chuckle here)... It never hit home until December, 2000.

16. It couldn't verify my address
My family has been here 50 years and the street is named after us. But when I put in a street address nearby, it did find the correct polling place.

HOWEVER, once again no information for Missouri polls and none on Missouri Election website. I'm working in the state that day and would like to know where to show up. Incredible.

17. That is incorrect!

It has my polling place listed as the old location.. actually I think it changed some time ago.

That list is not reliable.

18. Fix It Now
Hey Kelly,

It looks like they're *asking* for help to make the database better. If folks who know info is wrong, correct it today and tomorrow, we can make it a useful tool by Tuesday.
