Californians Recently Moved: You May Not Get Your Sample Ballot or Absentee!
Hmm. It looks like due to problems of California's state-wide voter registrastion verification system, thousands of recently moved or new voters are not getting registered, causing backups to voting registrar county offices across the country according to today's Los Angeles Times:
"Designed by Secretary of State Bruce McPherson to authenticate voter registrations has blocked otherwise valid registrations because of computer glitches, slight discrepancies in spelling or incomplete applications."
The problems have required registrars to contact voters -- a time-consuming process that is already taxing some counties facing elections next month.
San Diego County is racing to rectify rejected registrations in time for the April 11 special election to fill the seat vacated by convicted Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham."

I would strongly recommend anyone you know who has moved or registered recently to call their county registrar's office to make sure they are in fact, registered.
If this is already diaried (didn't find it), please remove it, and I apologize.
