This is my first thread, but it is something that I had to put out there. I hope that everyone can get out there and vote tomorrow...

Go to the Port Authority, take a bus to Essex County. Vote.

It's that simple.

The same sort of thing happened to me, but I had a screaming fit at the county elections office. Yesterday I received my sample ballot priority mail in a special envelope! Don't just stand for this, get on the phone and demand to vote!!

Cut class, jump on the train and go vote in person.

Simple for you, maybe....but not so for a grad student.

I have to say that I waited until kind of late to request my (Missouri) absentee ballot, but it arrived within days, and went back Saturday. Very quick and efficient here.

And the voter registration card says 'Bring picture ID.' You've got to like that about your state.

I was a grad student as well (at $885/credit)

Some things are a bit more important.....like voting.

You're right. I forgot the old adage:

He's got more degrees than an anal thermometer, but the thermometer is still smarter.

Don't take that personally, grad student, unless you don't exercise your franchise in a state that we have a chance of winning.

Just out of curiosity, is NYU loaded with rats or what is the makeup of the student body politically?

If you got your registration card, you are registered to vote. This IS the most important election of our times and that means whatever it takes you get back to your city of registration and to your polling place and VOTE.

This med student cuts probably half of her classes, and still does fine.

Of course, I don't hear terribly well, so even if I'm in lecture I still wind up learning it on my own. But that's another issue.

One can attend class any day of the week. One only gets to vote for President once every four years.

I say ditch class and go vote.

NYU is completely liberal, especially the faculty. They have one Republican group, which was organized by the Republican law students. I have aligned myself with the group even though I am not a law student. It's rough living here with that mentality all around me, but it makes me stronger and more deeply-rooted in my beliefs.

Keep up the good work, you remind me of my nephew, his heroes are Michael Savage and Rush, you will do well. And as far as voting goes, we probably don't have to tell you what to do. You are more than smart enough to figure it out.

Cognition and Perception--a branch of experimental Psychology (not clinical, although I'm well-versed in that area of the field as well...)

Does that mean you could explain scientifically why liberals have such poor cognition of the facts and such a skewed perception of reality? :)

BTW, welcome to FR.

I also have to add, just go to your town.

It's important. Catch a bus at the port or hit MSG and take the train. Going to cost you around 10-12 bucks and a few hours, but I went to college for 6 years, I know you can blow off 4 hours during the day and make it up if it's critical.
