Don't sing "those wrong precinct blues"

Many states -- including my own Alabama -- require voters to vote in the correct polling place, and votes on a provisional ballot in the wrong polling place will be discarded. (For a handy chart, see <http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/provisional02.html>Election Law @ Moritz.)   To avoid this problem, use the lookup at <http://www.mypollingplace.com/find.php>MyPollingPlace.com and urge your friends to do so as well. This site, provided by People for the American Way Foundation and the Election Protection coalition, includes the address for the polling place, a map and driving directions, a short list of voters' rights, and step-by-step instructions for the exact voting equipment at the polling place.
