I registered to vote in the state of Maryland when I got my drivers license and vehicle title at the MVA, and was told I'd have my info in the mail within 10 days.  17 days later, still nothing.  I don't know if my registration went through, I have no idea where the polling stations are, and the Prince Georges County Board of Elections website has been curiously down all morning.

Hell's Kitchen? That's were The Daily Show studios are. Did you see any roving correspondents? Can't wait to see their coverage tonight. YIP! [/b]
Daily Show Studios are right around the corner from where I live. Didn't see any correspondents there, but I voted a bit later (near 9am). Maybe earlier in the morning or I'm betting they went to other locations.

 That will you tell where to vote.
 
 If you have other questions call, 1-866-OUR-VOTE is the only voter assistance hotline staffed by live call center operators trained to provide state specific assistance to all voters.
 
 there are over 200 attorneys/partners at STB who are answering calls with over 60 lines. I would suggest giving them a call as it might save you a lot of time.

Meh, I just found out the deadline was October 17th...so it's my own fault.
 
 One less vote for Bob and Ben!

   go here and enter your name and other info, it should come up with your polling place and such.
 
   if your name doesnt come up, perhaps your registration didnt work.

So mom spent 20 minutes doing a vote.  They had hosed up machines and how it was supposed to work where they print a receipt then you vote, but the receipts wouldn't print.  Then she had to fill out a provisional ballot and that took like 20 minutes and was a big pain in the a$$.  She nearly left in disgust as it was way too much trouble.

Yeah, I didn't register in time, because it's not coming up.  Technically I guess that means I can still go back to my hometown in Virginia and vote for Webb!

There was an Hispanic lady with broken English just ahead of me in line.  She had an obvious "Anchor Baby" tot in tow.  I think speaking English should be a requisite for voting.

When I was voting today on the touch screen, all of a sudden the picture went blank for just a coupla seconds and when it came back I saw Super Mario at the bottom of the screen for just an instant.  What does it mean?

The plumbers' union hacked your voting machine.

Your ballot wasn't printed in more than one language?
