This just in- the DMV gnomes are Republican! Guard your registration with your life!

Are you registered to vote? Are you sure about that? You should double check- in fact, I'm begging you to double check. Recently I permanently moved to DC and thus went to the DMV to get my ID. While there, I filled out an application to register to vote in DC. A few months went by and I didn't give it a thought until a colleague entered my name online to see if I was registered. I was shocked to find out that they had no record of my registration in DC. I immediately called the DC office and asked them to double check. They confirmed it- they could not find my name. How could this happen, I asked furiously. His reply? Sometimes the DMV forgets to send the forms over or waits until they have a big batch.

Ok, this is ridiculous! How many other people are in my situation? How many other people are eagerly awaiting the election and their turn to vote, not knowing that come November 4th their vote will not count because the DMV did them a disservice?

Please, check out this awesome PSA. It has a great cast of celebrities and comedians. And please, if you do nothing else today, double check that you are registered to vote!
