I’m guessing that most of you know whether or not you’re registered to vote.
But for your sake and mine, think again. If you moved recently, have you voted since then? If not, then your voting precinct might still be over in your old neighborhood. An inconvenience if you moved across town. A tragedy if you left city or state entirely.
So click on the corner tag and check. Project Vote-Smart has pertinent information about the hows and whys of registering for your state. Some states — Georgia included — will even allow you to check your registration status and precinct designation online.
And if you want to add the corner tag to your own blog, here’s a right-click-and-save link for the image and here is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<div style="position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 0px; overflow: visible; height: 150px; width: 150px; margin: 0 0 0 -150px; padding: 0; z-index: 9999; border: none; float: none;"><img src="http://[your local image URL here]/votething.png" width="150" height="150" border="0" usemap="#rc"></div><map name="rc"><area shape="poly" coords="0,0,150,0,150,150" href="http://www.vote-smart.org/"></map>');
// -->
</script>
Where to put it? Right in the bottom of your index page, just above the closing HTML and BODY tags.
(And no, I’m not that good with my javascripting. The code is based primarilly on Brian Alvey’s Post-Katrina Red Cross flag.)
