Along with others in this thread, he was commenting on your, with all due respect, rather gross misspelling of the word "registered" in the topic title.

You've made a number of similar errors in this thread alone, and it leaves a less than favorable impression of you. In an effort to try to help you (in a friendly way) in the future, I will point out these errors and correct them below. Again, this is meant to be friendly and helpful, so please don't take this the wrong way.

Your errors are highlighted in red, and next to them are the corrections, which are highlighted in blue. Notice the capitalization used in the corrections as well.

Well(,) you can't vote if your (you're) not "registered". I was giving the people in these forums the benafit (benefit) of a doubt that they knew thay (they) had to be registered to vote.   I mean thay (they) where (were) smart enough to buy a Mac

I particularly want to emphasize your consistent misspelling of the word "they," which I believe I've seen from your posts in other threads as well.  That word is a very, very basic word in our language, so consistently misspelling it leaves an especially poor impression of you in the mind of the reader.

Again, this was meant to be friendly and helpful, so that you can be a better writer in the future.

Tank U mi felow teccher, ant Mac usser toaster.

I've been registered since the april primary.

Here in Brevard, registration only expires if you miss two major elections (IE 2004, 2006) or if you move.

Yes but rules of expiration vary from place to place. Here in Brevard the rule is two major election cycles but voting automatically updates you with the same registration information.

I wasn't old enough to vote in the 2004 elections; I missed it by a week. I registered in September 2005 (a simple checkbox when I was filling out a form for my DL) but didn't vote in the congressional elections of 2006.

That's smurfing stupid. You should only have to re-register if you change your address.

To be clear, my address is still the same.

In Brevard you'd be valid as you only missed one major election (2006) since registering.

Crap. My registration expired on January 1st, and the registration deadline is today. There really ought to be a way to register online, but there doesn't seem to be one for Texas.

When was the last time you voted?

Mine says that it doesn't expire until 12/31/09, and I know they just automatically sent me this one as I still have my previous card for this address.

*edit*

Never mind, I see you answered it.

I have my absentee ballot right here in front of me.
Let's see...
President: Jdude
Congressman: Jdude
Senator: Jdude
Dog Catcher: Oatmeal

Now, off to the proposed new State laws.
Prop 201: A law for the purpose of raising revenue to subsidize zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I vote in all presidential election elections.
There have been some mid-term elections I've missed.

Haha, I'm glad I was wrong. I was indeed misreading the site, so I will be able to vote this year after all. Phew.

It depends.
If you are registering democrat, you have to fill out a 7 page form in triplicate in four different languages, including at least one language that uses right to left and one language that uses multiple vowel points.

It must be certified by four different judges and be stamped by the blood of a guinea hen.

If you are registered as republican, it's much easier - just show proof of your subscription renewal to Instinct Magazine and you are all good. Must be renewal though, can't be a new subscription.

Only register for a specific party if you want to vote in a primary.

In 1984 I remember watching a get out the vote advertisement.

It was a silent pan of one of the fields in Arlington National Cemetary. 15 seconds of tombstones. Then the message in large white letters superimposed over the picture.

"Vote. They did."

I've voted ever since I became eligible. I see no reason to stop now.

A right that is unexercised is one that will soon be lost.
