If you're reading this blog post, you probably are registered to vote. But I found this link important enough to post it here to make it easy for you to find when you need it.

To check if you, or someone else who wants to know about themselves, is registered to vote, the Secretary of State website has a handy tool that makes it a quick lookup. Here's the link:

Please pass it on!

Hi everyone,

Our Secretary of State candidate, Jason Osgood (http://www.jasonosgood.com/), has been looking at the voter rolls over the last few years, and he noticed something that he has not been able to explain. He ran some queries, and found quite a few people who were on the rolls in 2004, but are not there now. There are numerous potential reasons for this, but the most troubling possibility is that the Secretary of State is following the Help America Vote Act to the letter. If someone has not voted in two consecutive federal elections, the law allows that voter to be removed from the rolls. I think we can set the potential reasons aside and deal with this as the opportunity it is.
