Are You Really Registered to Vote?
Think you're registered to vote? You may be wrong! Recently
MoveOn checked public voter files in some key states, and
found up to 30% of MoveOn members were not registered.
Although almost all of us think we are registered, there
are lots of things that can happen in the process. Luckily,
there's a simple solution to this problem: Register. Make sure
you're not turned away from the voting booth on Nov. 2, by
registering now. It takes less than five minutes.
