Heisenberg Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 My girlfriend recently moved to VA and registered to vote in the state the last week before the cutoff at the DMV when she was getting her new license. Today she called because she hadn't received word about her voting location and they told her that she's not showing up in the system and that they've been having problems with the new voter registrations adn that she would need to bring the receipt she got from the DMV to some elections place in Fairfax tomorrow around 5:00 am and wait in line and they would try to work things out. Has anyone ever had issues like this or any suggestions? She's not even sure if she can find the receipt in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that there were something like 100k new registrations the last week of eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Warning,, corny and easy joke to follow. If you feel this joke is beneath you or me, please move to the next post. These ACORN fellas helped me register a few dozen times. Wasn't very hard at all. You should call them. This concludes the test of the easy corny joke warning system. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 On a more serious note, it sucks that the DMV screwed up her records. I don't know what she can do about it, except to show up early like she's supposed to. My bet is they'll figure it out fairly quickly. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalSkinsFan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I registered at the DMV as well, but nearly a year ago. I never received a polling place notification either (which I thought was odd), but learned thru a Obama volunteer going door to door where it was. I checked through the website that I am registered, but going to try and find the receipt anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
