I think that if you try to vote and you're not registered, they'll just dump in the trash, and pull it out if there's a recount or they need at tiebreaker or something, but I'm not 100% sure.

Really? They don't have automatic register? Strange, in my country I turned 18 three days before an election and I had already been assigned my place to vote, without doing anything

You don't need to be 18 to register, I registered when I was 17 because the 2000 election was within 30 days of my birthday. I voted for Dukakas. Oops. I'm from Florida. You know how we are....
(bumped to keep this on the front page - everyone who cares about their own , their family's, OR their country's well being should. If you don't care; then I better not here you complain later.)
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

As per Article I, Section IV, Clause I of the US Constitution, it depends entirely on which state you live in. Most states require you to register 25-30 days before the election. Others do not have such strict requirements. Hew Hampshire allows election day registration and North Dokota does not require you to register to vote.

I am going to register to vote.
John McCain for the win!
Barrack Hussein Obama is an inexperienced socialist.
P.S. this is my 700th post!
It can be argued that everybody in the U.S. is a socialist since the U.S. is a socialist country. But if you want to single U.S. citizens out as socialists one at a time, go ahead duder.
John Sidney McCain the Third is an experienced flip-flopper who can't even move his arms or fingers. I'm voting for the new kid who can type good and talk good.

That's not what I said, I was surprised because you had to register to vote, in my country it's done automatically. Of course, I live in a country where voting is mandatory for every citizen on both national and regional levels, in the US voting is optional, right?

I am neither a McCain supporter nor an Obama supporter, but that shot at McCain's arms was a low blow. He suffers because of his service to this country. Even if you disagree with him and disagree with the Vietnam War, to mock him for serving our country is pretty bad.
Definitely registering to vote.
I hate it, but I'm honestly afraid of not just four more years of Bush...but four more years of Bush with the possibility of President Palin.
President...Palin.

I think making fun of his arms is about as lame as calling Obama a socialist. I was responding to Ickalanda who repeats that in every thread and then disappears. Personally I prefer good robot arm jokes about Bob Dole, but those are out of fashion these days.
I don't really think war injuries make candidates more able to lead the country. Kerry had about a billion purple hearts compared to Bush's "cut and run" strategy during Nam and nobody cared. Bob Dole had a total cyborg arm compared to Clinton's "cut an run" strategy and nobody cared. If this trend keeps up, McCain's military service will actually get Obama elected!
Only 10 or so days left! Be sure to register!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
