How does someone vote twice for Obama in a single day, without pulling a single lever? By registering two new voters.
You might think that everyone who is going to vote has already registered. I can tell you that you're wrong. Today, by virtue of being in the right place at the right time, with a voter registration form in hand, I registered a 60 year-old woman (white, if you were wondering) who has never voted before in her life. She is voting for Obama.
I also registered someone who had been a citizen for only a few short months - it seems that, when they had the swearing-in ceremony, they had run out of forms. Only two voters? Sure, but think about it. What would you do for a chance to vote for Barack three times? I'll bet holding a clipboard and giving up a few hours of your time isn't too much of a price to pay.
You might also think that the voter registration deadline has passed already, but you may be surprised to learn that in many states, like my own Maryland, there is still some time left.
