Any new info on newly registered voters?

I think my state (MI) has a deadline of October 2nd of getting registered. I'm pretty sure it's thirty days before the election.

So how are the registration efforts coming along? Especially in key swing states? I heard something about a huge surge in democratic registration in NV. I think democrats match republicans in the state (or possibly outnumber them by a little).

1. mtv has reported

with their Rock the Vote thing that 65% of youth are registered and are definatley voting. the most since '92 when clinton won.

that's all i've heard about registration so far.

2. Lots of voter registrations going on in WI

It's easy to get deputized to register people to vote. Takes about five minutes and you are ready to help democracy.

I personally have registered about a hundred people. I like high-fiving 18-year-olds that register. It can bring tears to your eyes.

3. While early October marks the deadline for registering to vote, many

states allow people to register on the election day at their local polling place...not reccommended to wait that long, but its a good thing to know that some states allow it.

I'm working on several projects to get voter registration up...so far we have had great success....Not sure where one can actually find "official data" but based on the results we have had, its been great....

4. I have a question

I'm getting my friend to register and she goes to school in Pennsylvania. However, she's a resident of CA. Is it too late for her to register and send in an absentee ballot? The registration deadline in CA is 15 days before the election.

5. *how Al Franken would answer*

...if your friend is voting Democratic, it would be better for her to register in PA and vote in PA, a swing state. I believe she's allowed to do that, she just can't vote in two places (but you CAN be registered in two states). Check with the PA election board (or another PA resident here) to be sure.

6. Question about registering.

When I went to get my state drivers license after I moved I also registered to vote. That is all I need to do, correct? I've never lived in the USA at voting age before this, and never been around for much of an election. Except for Gore in 2000, I was not even in the country for a past election.... excepting MAYBE Clinton in 92, I can't remember where I was for that one.

7. You should contact

your state's secretary of state just in case.

It's probably a bit different in each state, but I would assume that once you registered, you are set...but if you have have moved since you last registered then you likely need to register again.
