Gacked from Air America, via shelaghc's reply to my "print fanfic!" post below:

Please bring:
1. Umbrellas
2. Board Games,
MadLibs, Trivial Pursuit
3. Cookies, Candy, Sugar Products, Nuts
4.Musical Instruments
5. Digital Cameras (to record your vote or shenanigans)
6. Provide Babysitters for Voting Parents
7. Animal Sitting
8. Water Bottles
9. Radios, IPods
10. Extra Headphones
11. Bathrooms (at a nearby house or from an RV)
12. Take Your Kid With You to Encourage Voting (They can stand-in for the elderly)
13. Books, Magazines (it's a great time to join BookCrossing!
14. Bring Your Bills To Pay, Balance Your Checkbook
15. Deck of Cards
16. Coffee
17. Irish “Jig”
18. Folding Chairs
19. Tarp
20. Book/Record of Precincts in your County
21. Vote with an old friend to catch up
22. Bring someone elderly, take them to lunch
23. Make precinct runs, take people to their proper polling place
24. This phone number: 866-OUR-VOTE
25. Bring a cell phone charger
26. Do not wear any political t-shirts that endorse a candidate or party - you won't be able to wear it inside

And if you're too young to vote, or not a US citizen, or if your registration didn't make it in for some reason, then you can still go by a poll and bring any of the above. Check with your local polling station to see if they'll even let you come by and do nonpolitical miming, acoustic guitar playing or a cappella singing.

Unless you want to get beaten up by the po-po, might want to cross off number 5...

Okay, maybe I'm the only one who thought that was funny.

People who didn't register in time can make a provisional vote though in some jurisdictions, right? I recall that being the case in California. I had moved between the last election and the primaries, and I was allowed a provisional ballot.

Actually that was I thinking when I read number 4. ;)
