So I said, "I'm happy to tell you that we have same day registration here, and I'll be right there!" So I took her to vote

(Yes - I fully admit had she said she was voting for Romney, I wouldn't have been so helpful, lol)

Thankfully I'm in MN too. I forgot to register after I moved and made a small change to my legal name. They are pretty good about registering there. Had to make sure I didn't have any Vote No propoganda on me or my car though. They are refusing to let anyone vote if they are wearing any political propoganda or if they are parked within 100 feet from the polls and have stuff on their car.

Oh wow! I got LUCKY then! I was parked right out front with a Vote No sticker and another big stop sign sticker that says "STOP the Republican War on Women"

You did get lucky! One of my friends who has the Vote No wrap on her car was told to park somewhere else. She went the required 100 feet away from the doors and parked right at the entrance to the parking lot - first thing people saw pulling in was her car with Vote No HUGE all over it!

A church that is a polling site here in Minneapolis has signs promoting vote yes. Voters called the hotline to complain and the church was forced to take the signs down.

If the amendment passes I'm moving out of MN as soon as work can transfer me. They know to expect my transfer request depending on the results. LOL

Is that legal?

I know things are different here in the UK, but surely, that can't be legal.
