You can actually check your status online. www.voteforchange.com is a very simple site that will tell you if you're registered, and if not, whether you still can (some states have same-day registration so you can register the same day that you vote). It was set up by the Obama campaign, so it's branded that way, but anyone is free to use it.

I'm not voting, my state is a repulican state, they vote repulican every election, no candidates EVER come here to do speeches, we aren't a sway state, they KNOW they have our electorals, why should I vote when it won't matter?
i don't care, so i'm not voting :) either way its one more idiot running the country that has few worthy points to work with and isn't more than a figure head either way, he can only urge one way or the other, after the governments in though the peoples say goes out the door on anything that was "promised" during the election term.
the government votes itself in anyways, we merely vote locally, beyond that its all electoral college voting government into government.

IF you don't vote, make sure you do it VOCALLY!! Protest in the streets. Rally outside the polls. Make sure people know it's wrong!
Seriously, to everyone: Research, then vote! Make sure you know all the options and what will happen for each. Tired of McCain and Obama? Remember: There are still other candidates out there. Write in a protest if you have to, but make sure your voice is heard!

I protest the fact that these 2 idiots are the only options we have, since the media didn't follow the other guys at all, even though at least one of them may actually be a better canidate than both of them... but when statistics are massively against you, you have one option, vote with the remainder.
We have 2 idiots to choose from, which idiot do you want. I just know I don't want the idiot that picked a lady that thinks Earth is 6,000 years old, and I rather have the guy that hired over a dozen nobel prize winners to advise him on matters of climate change, medical stuff, and so on. (I wonder if he learned was most scientist know, over 95% of climate change is due to cycles that the sun goes through, and the remaining less than 5% isn't all human either. [I go along with the BS though since I think solar panels and other green technology are a no crap items that cost less in the long run, but that is me.])
If the media would advertise the 3rd guy, or he would have raised enough funds, then this could be one hell of an election where a 3rd party shows they could take power soon, but it didn't happen this year. I give it 12 years until a third party will either come close or be in the white house if the current parties don't go through massive change over the next 12 years.
In Canada, we have 2 major parties (Liberal and Conservitives) and 2 smaller parties (NDP, Bloc Québécois) and then we have something called Independent which is the really really small parties like the Green Party. We give a fair mount of screen time to the smaller parties too, but it doesn't really make much of a difference.
Green party was able to be part of the major debates, but they only ended up with zero seats (out of 308). Huge amount of people hate both Stephen Harper and Stephane Dion, yet they have the most seats.
Media doesn't matter, people are just voting the party they were loyal to years before.
