Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:
In South Carolina, polls are open today from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Anyone who is in line by 7:00 PM will be allowed to vote. You can find your polling location now. For additional information or for any issues you may have with voting visit our Voter Information Center or call 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (877-874-6226). Answers to some of the most common voting questions are below:
Do I need to bring ID with me when I go vote? Voters must show one of the following forms of ID at the polls: Voter registration card, Driver’s License, or Picture ID card issued by Department of Motor Vehicles. If you registered to vote by mail after January 1, 2004, you are required to submit a form of identification with your voter registration application, including a copy of a valid photo ID or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address in your county. If you did not submit a form of ID with your mail-in voter registration application, you will be required to show ID and your voter registration card at the polls. This ID could include one of the following:
What time will the polls be open on November 4? Polls in South Carolina will be open from 7:00 am – 7:00 pm. What about voters with disabilities? Assistance in marking a ballot is allowed only if the voter is blind, illiterate or physically handicapped. A voter entitled to receive assistance may choose anyone to assist except his employer, and agent of his employer, or an officer or agent of his union. Any voter who, because of physical handicap or age (65 or older), cannot enter the polling place in which he is registered to vote, or is unable to stand in line to vote, may vote outside that polling place in the closest available parking area utilizing the vehicle in which he has driven or has been driven to the polls.
We have 5 days left to make sure as many people as possible cast their votes for change. But you'd be surprised how many of your friends and family don't know where to vote in your state, a crucial battleground state. Take a minute to look up your polling place on our voting website, VoteForChange.com, then forward this email to your friends, family, and neighbors so they can look up theirs, too. On VoteForChange.com you can find out where to vote and get crucial voting information. This race is too close for you -- or anyone you know -- not to vote. And the issues we're facing are too important to keep anyone's voice out of the political process just because they didn't know where to vote. Can you forward this email to at least five friends, family members, or coworkers and tell them to look up their polling location? Supporters like you can transform this nation, and I'm counting on your help to make sure every Obama supporter in your state knows where they can cast their vote for change on Election Day. Thank you for your help, Jon Carson
Barack is reminding South Carolina supporters to make sure they're registered to vote before the October 4th deadline.
If you have friends or family who support Barack but might not be registered, you can use our online email importer to send them a message about VoteForChange.com. Don't worry -- we won't hold on to any of the email addresses you share. It only takes a minute, and for your friends and family it could mean the difference between participating and sitting on the sidelines come November.
