Everyone keeps saying “go vote” “go vote”. But, isn’t it too late to register, and therefore the only people who can vote already confirmed that they will be?
This isn’t to say that people shouldn’t vote. They should. This is just to say that people shouldn’t post endless threads on social media AFTER it’s it’s too late to register. The people who are registered, already know they’re voting. The people NOT registered, can’t vote.
So who is this thread for?
I can understand your confusion. @usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml posted a link as to how to register to vote in Ohio 29 days ago.
This post was a way to make sure that people didn’t forget to vote before the last day and to encourage those who were on the fence for whatever reason(s) to go out and vote.
It’s also worth noting that some states have same-day voter registration, though not Ohio at the moment unfortunately. Some states started adding that more recently such as Virginia (implemented 2022) and Nevada (2019)

Put a caveat that New York, unlike the other states on the map here, only allowed it on the first day of early voting because of the quirks of the law they passed
