  There is a lot of interest in registering to vote this year, in particular because there is a presidential election November 4. The state Board of Elections has been receiving thousands of mail-in applications, according to officials. When staff members returned to work after the Labor Day long weekend, there were just under 3,500 mail-in registration forms waiting for them. Â
  For those who want to vote in the November election, mail-in applications must be postmarked by October 10 and received by a board of elections by October 15. Prospective voters can register in person at their local board of elections or any state agency that participates in the National Voter Registration Act by October 10. There are exceptions for people who are honorably discharged from the military or who become naturalized citizens after October 10. In those cases, registration can be done in person at the board of elections until October 24.Â
  Change of address notices from registered voters that are received by county boards of elections by October 15 must be processed and entered into the records in time for the general election.Â

Here are the facts of the Presidential Election…...(Great sources)
Short and to the point.
McCain MUST win Pennsylvania , Michigan & Ohio.
If McCain does that he wins no matter what.
(Even losing Florida, which he does not)
If he McCain loses ONE of those three States it becomes a very, very long night. (Pick off’s become important)
No other polls matter but this scenario. (Pollster.com)
And yes due to migration of the “Lefties aka Liberals” of California into the Mountain States (Former Cowboy States) IE. New Mexico, Montana, Dakota’s & Colorado the rules have changed.
