Reach Out And Touch Someone

In Connecticut you can still register to vote.

This morning I influenced two more people into voting this election, and why.

Make your emails and calls, people. Making a difference is as simple as calling an ordinarily apolitical friend or family member who is out of work, and asking them if they are registered.

The line that worked for me in that situation:

"We have to stop this commie job-killing shit in its tracks."

I know, I know. But it works.

And then I email them a link to their local Registrar of Voters or get them the phone number.
This isn't rocket surgery.

UPDATE [DiT]: good point from commenter laceyunderalls, last minute registrants in CT (and elsewhere), if your name doesn't appear on the roll, ask for a Provisional Ballot. You can usually find instructions on your Sec State's website.
