The Latest from the League
In Austin, Dallas and San Antonio where I visited last week, election officials are taking a professional approach to training their poll workers and their staff in preparation for early voting and Election Day.
VOTE411.org did more than just help me register to vote. It also gave me the information I needed to vote for the very first time this Election Day.
