Voting Tips for The Upcoming Election On Nov. 6th, 2012

Greetings SBC residents,

As we watch the horrific scenes of destruction visited upon our neighbors to the north by hurricane Sandy, let's give thanks that we did not suffer the same fate. Also, let's seriously pray for them and make donations to those relief agencies that are providing assistance to them.
Here is a website with info on those agencies

Voting Tips for The Upcoming Election On Nov. 6th, 2012

Here are SIX SIMPLE STEPS you can take on Election Day to protect your voting rights.

1. Call the local elections office to verify the location of your polling place. Locations may have changed, and a vote cast at the wrong place might not get counted.

2. Bring identification to the polls, preferably a government-issued photo ID with your... name and registered street ad...dress.

3. Ask for help from poll workers and check posted information signs if you have questions or need assistance.

4. Make sure you cast a vote. If you are in line when the polls close, stay in line because you are entitled to vote.

5. If you are offered a provisional ballot, ask if you can cast a regular ballot by providing additional ID or by going to another polling place. If no alternative is available or practical, cast a provisional ballot.

6. If you have a voting rights problem, ask to speak with the chief election official or a voting rights volunteer at the polls, or call the toll-free nationwide Election Protection Hotline, 1-866-OUR-VOTE, a project of a coalition of groups, including the AFL-CIO, promoting voting rights.

In the event that you are planning to vote Democrat on Nov. 6, when you go into the voting booth, DO NOT SELECT THE BUTTON "all democrats" FIRST, because Barack Obama will be excluded from the vote.

However, if we choose "Barack Obama" first, and THEN "all democrats", he will earn our votes. For some reason this information has not been made known to many.

For more information on voting go the Norfolk Office of Elections

I am sure I am not the only one who will be glad when this election is over. Too many ads and too many lies.

Please VOTE! Now more than before.
