I have missed one election since my first in 1982, and that was six years ago, when I'd moved, registered with "motor voter," and it didn't take. I didn't know about provisional ballots, I got down to the polling place, and my name wasn't on the list, so I went home sad. We'd gotten a voter info packet for deyo and we never got one for me, though we'd always gotten two before, and I just didn't notice. (This time, we got just one, for "registered voters at" our address, no names.)
