A Slight Delay

Got an email today from the Obama campaign, reminding me to register to vote. So I’m reminding anyone who’s reading this (both of you) to register too, and/or to make sure that your registration is for your current address. I checked both campaigns’ websites, and each has an area on the site devoted to voter registration. Feedback on the registration process (not that anyone from either campaign will read this, ever):

The Obama site’s registration is visually attractive, but a bit of a mess (the DOB field refused to fill out correctly). The McCain site, while more businesslike, was also quicker and easier to navigate. That said, the Obama campaign had the foresight to email its supporters to make sure that they actually registered; as yet, the McCain campaign has not (I’m on both mailing lists). Both sites will give you a PDF that you can print and mail in order to register.

If you want to register via Obama’s site, click here.

If, on the other hand, you’d rather register via McCain’s site, click here.

For an added thrill (albeit a small one), register via the site of the candidate you don’t plan on voting for. There’s something to be said for filling out the other party’s name under “affiliation.” Just because. Now, go!
