Of course, if this is what you're basing your vote on, we highly encourage you to stay home....unless you happen to be voting for our guy...in a swing state.  

Whatever your political stripe, get out there and vote. 

Here in Minnesota, you can find your polling place by clicking here.  Minnesota is one of the few states with same day registration, so even if you haven't registered yet, you can show up at the polls with a photo ID and your latest utility bill and still pull the lever.  Here is how you can register to vote on election day here in Minny:

Registering on Election Day

If you are not registered to vote or need to update your registration information, you may do so at your local polling location on Election Day.  However, you are required to provide proof of residence when registering on Election Day.

  • A valid registration in the same precinct under a different name or address

  • A voter registered in the same precinct as you who can confirm your address with a signed oath
