I think my voter registration has been caged
I went to check on Can I vote and through my state site to see if my registration was up to date( I registered when I was 18) and it said my voter info could not be found. I'm in Michigan and what do I do?

1. immediately go to your voter registration office and insist
on finding out why you are not on the rolls.

5. Yes. Do that and make sure you get the name of every person
you talk to and take notes on time and place.

2. Are you sure everything was typed in correctly?

Did you put the birthdate in like this: (example) 1/1/1987?

I would absolutely find out what is going on.

3. re-register now
and make sure when you do go to vote you bring some kind of proof of where you live so you can shove it down the throats of the repukes waiting to spring on you. Also see if there is a local legal help group you can contact to sue them if they even try to prevent you from voting. the local BHO people may be able to help as well.

4. Same thing happened to me.
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 05:10 PM by silverweb
I'm going in person to the registrar's office with all the documentation I can carry on the first day of early voting (October 6 here in California) and well before the registration deadline (October 20).

Can you go in person?

10. Go to democrats.com
1) register on their site
2) on the right side of the page is a feature called "google you registration". Follow the steps.
3) If you ain't registered, go see the county ASAP
4) tell your friends who support Obama about your experience; tell your friends who support McSame to vote for Bob Barr
