Can you really register to vote on here? A friend called me, who I advised could register on this site. They were disappointed that The Beacon simply offers the form to print out and then take to an official registration site. Is that right?

Yes, that is right. And as best I can tell, that is the best you can do online.
I was contacted by the Rock the Vote people Thursday. They said that people could register to vote if I included the line of code that makes that form appear, and they asked me to post it.
So I did.
I noticed, the next day, when playing with the form (as I am already registered), that the thing ultimately instructed you to mail the form.
Then I noticed the same interface at other “register to vote” here online type places.
So that’s as best I know how to help people online. If you have any suggestions, I’ll take them, but you should forward them to the Rock the Vote people, too—as they reach a larger audience, presumably, than I do.

I didn’t investigate either because I’m registered and took you at your word. I also told a niece she could register on here. She actually didn’t get to register because I had erroneously told her she could accomplish this on the Beacon and of course she waited until the very last minute depending on this as her resource. I wish it hadn’t been misleading. I really let her down by steering her to The Beacon.

I’ve never understood these “register online” schemes- I think they’re used mainly to generate site traffic and mailing lists.
Why not just link to the Board of Elections:

and not take the burden of bad information upon yourself?

I can’t believe you would just post this without knowing if the outcome implied, could be accomplshed. Did you do this on purpose?
