Vote for Change
A Links entry from Monday, September 15, 2008Vote for Change
The Obama campaign has a nifty, Katamari Damacy-esque website where you can register to vote quickly and easily, unlike the McCain campaign, which could only conceivably win if they were to actively discourage new voters from registering. I followed the instructions and was able to register to vote absentee in my county in about 10 minutes tops. I think the process for normal voting is a bit shorter, since you don’t have to take a detour through state and then county websites. (Via Bitch, Ph.D..)

So… did you try to register on the McCain website first?

No, but I don’t think that really matters. On Obama’s site there is a giant section called “VOTE FOR CHANGE,” whereas on McCain’s website I can’t seem to find anything related to registering to vote. I searched for “register” and “vote” and came up with nothing.

All I could find were some french fries.
They do actually have one, but it’s under the “Action” drop down menu and not nearly as prominent.
