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.
