Booger, I noticed your earlier mention of not being a registered voter. I read recently about "provisional" votes for such people. I believe it is something new this year, due to the 2000 election when millions were turned away from the poles for not being registered. I don't know all the specifics of how it works, but the impression I got is the provisional votes are counted as well, I'm just not sure how they get included in the final tally. I'd check up on it for the state of Michigan as I don't know what their procedures are. I know I read up on Texas requirements becuase I was down to the wire in getting my registration in.
