Forward this Today: Where and How to Vote
George
Can you believe it? Election Day is finally, finally here!
There are lots of people out there who support Barack Obama but still aren't sure how, when, or where to vote. It's more common than you think—some of the people who have questions are probably your friends or coworkers.
So we've compiled all the info people need to vote, below. Not just where to go, but also what to do if there's a problem.
We're aiming to get this out to 200,000 voters by 10 a.m. Please forward this email on to everyone you know—and then click here to tell us how many people you sent it to so we can track our impact together.
Thanks!

Today, November 4th, is Election Day! Remember to vote—not just for Barack Obama, but for Congressional, state, and local candidates as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: MoveOn members overwhelmingly oppose California's Proposition 8 (a ban on same-sex marriage). Please vote NO on Prop 8.
