Polling place locator being blocked??? Or just too busy?
http://www.mypollingplace.com/

Has anyone been successful in getting unto the People for the American Way polling place locator? I haven't - thankfully I do know my polling place. It appears that the thugs are pulling out all of the stops to suppress the vote.

1. I got in but...
It came as a pop-up which my browser was ready to block.

2. Noticed men working on the streets just down from our prescent. Of course
they will be there tomorrow. Not actually closing off traffic- just making it VERY difficult for people to get there in time to vote. That is one very good reason to vote early.

4. I just tested it.
It returned the correct polling places for both my current and previous addresses - though on the former, it also puked out some gibberish at the top of the screen, so the site may not be performing at the top of its form right now.

5. Woo hoo, I got in and the info was correct - which probably means the
site is just really busy. Yeah! That is good for us if lots of people are confirming their polling places today.
