I actually really like Palin's hairdos.

Don't Vote

Oh my God, Leo's so like, 30, isn't he?
But Ashton makes me kinda wanna vote.
So, like, where's the link?

Ghoulish Delight · 10-03-2008, 03:08 PM

www.maps.google.com/vote

Is that supposed to have some information on the map? All I'm seeing is the standard map of the United States. No highlighted points of interest (at the national level or zoomed in local).

If you pinpoint a location, it gives you voter information. Like how long you have left to register etc.

ETA: What GD said.

Right now, if you give it a location, it gives voter registration info in the left bar. Once polling place info is available I assume it will be shown on the map.

It's not an uberuseful site, but it is the site pointed to in the video.

It isn't doing that for me. When I put in a location it just zooms to that location like the normal map.

The info isn't on the map, it's on the left under the search box.

Yes, and that remains empty.

I found a blog talking about it with a screenshot. None of that is showing for me for some reason. Oh well. I'm already registered and permanent absentee so it would just be curiosity anyway.

Checked in both IE and FF.
