I'm creeped out that I found myself under the first link. I agree. Can't believe that's legal.

 

does anyone else think that Wolf Blitzer should sit down every once in a while...

 

my name did not show up. interesting.
they'll never catch me.

 

i think that first link only shows registered voters? i was listed but did not vote.

 

if you voted, it says "voted early in November 2006" or "voted in November 2004"
