Have you registered to vote at one of the get-out-the-vote concerts? On the street? If you haven't received confirmation about voter registration, call the county election division at 988-3720. Although there is no way to quantify how many voter registrations slip between the cracks, they are not infallible.
Or, what? You haven't even registered to vote, PERIOD!? There's only about a month left if you care to express your opinion in the upcoming election. Download a form:

When that failed, he tried again. But again, fell short. Then, in a last ditch effort, the Nader campaign tried to gather enough signatures to qualify.
Last Thursday, the Secretary of State announced that, in spite of turning in enough signatures, the Nader campaign did not turn in enough valid signatures. He was 218 signatures short. PB.
