Getting out the vote
| Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | --Sean |
At 3am, I finally make it back to my new rented house after finishing up nearly the last bit of moving that's been occupying me for the past week (sorry about the lack of updates, folks!). My focus should be on the futon that I still need to construct so that I have something to sleep on tonight, but instead, my overriding thought is, "Shoot, I have no idea what to do about voting tomorrow." Most important election of my life thus far, and I don't even know where my polling place is!
Right when I visit the Yahoo! top page, I get this:
Which, you know, seems like a pretty thoughtful thing to ask. When I click on "No", I'm redirected to an elections page that prompts me to enter my address in order to find my designated polling place. After I jot that down (and glance at the embedded map showing me the relative locations of my house and the opportunity to fulfill my civic duty), I'm also able to pretty quickly find the ID requirements for California voters, which I had also been worrying about.
It's just nice to see my company looking out for me. :) Good luck voting today!
