Pre-Voting Jitters
Posted November 04, 2008 at 5:54 AM

Well, it's time for me to get out to P.S. 167. I'm worried that I won't be able to vote because my name is spelled "Sarah" rather than "Sara" on my notification. Also, when I hadn't received my voter notification by 10/20, I called the NY Board of Elections and found that my birthdate was listed incorrectly. I corrected the information and was told that I would be sent a new notification, but I have not as yet received it.

 

If I'm turned away at the polls, I know that I can contact the Board of Elections, Rock the Vote, and, as my friend told me, "the media." Then I recalled the fact that I AM part of the media...so if I have issues at the polls here in NYC, I'll blog, vlog, and Twitter it here.

 

Later on today, I'm chatting with some twentysomething New York voters, and I'm psyched to hear what their experiences have been at the polls. In the meantime, I'll be carrying my camera and big laptop all over Manhattan today, stopping intermittently at Starbucks to upload images using their WiFi.

 

And you better believe I'm getting my free donut at Dunkin' Donuts, my free coffee at Starbucks, my free ice cream at Ben and Jerry's...and, yes, my free vibrator at Babeland.

;)
