Before his Election Night speech last night, Barack sent out this message to suppporters:

I'm about to head to Grant Park to talk to everyone gathered there, but I wanted to write to you first.

We just made history.

And I don't want you to forget how we did it.

You made history every single day during this campaign -- every day you knocked on doors, made a donation, or talked to your family, friends, and neighbors about why you believe it's time for change.

I want to thank all of you who gave your time, talent, and passion to this campaign. We have a lot of work to do to get our country back on track, and I'll be in touch soon about what comes next.

But I want to be very clear about one thing...

All of this happened because of you.

Thank you,
Barack

New Mexico, the polls are now open.  It’s a great day to elect Barack Obama President and Joe Biden Vice President.

All of the hard work and the long days come down to today.

It’s up to us to finish what we’ve started.

CHANGE comes today!

But first, we need everyone to VOTE, and then we need everyone to VOLUNTEER.

YES WE CAN!!


Here are some tips to help you make sure Election Day goes smoothly:

The polls are open from 7:00AM to 7:00PM.  If you are in line by 7:00PM, it’s your right to vote.
 

If you have not received your absentee ballot, you can get another ballot at your polling place on Tuesday, November 4th.
 

If you registered to vote by mail for the first time and didn't include ID, you must bring ID with you to the polls. The address on your ID does not need to match your registration address.
 

You may be asked to remove or cover any campaign gear (Obama T-shirts, buttons, etc.) that you wear to the polls. As long as you comply, you still have the right to vote.

This is it.  We're 2 days away from electing the next President of the United States.

But before we can elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden, we need to Get Out the Vote.

Polls don't matter on Election Day.  What matters on Election Day is the number of people who vote.

It doesn't matter if you're a first time volunteer or a season veteran, we need everyone's help.

Can Barack and Joe count on you to give a few hours or an afternoon to help get out the vote?

We need everyone to lend a hand.  Don't pay attention to the polls because they don't mean anything on Election Day.  The only thing that matters on Election Day is the number of voters who cast their ballot.

Early voting is simple, safe, and convenient. It's also a vital part of our strategy.
