Anyone who isn't already registered to vote in the November election has until 5 p.m. today to sign up.

On Nov. 2, voters will decide who will represent them in Congress and on city councils and school boards. They also will vote on three state constitutional amendments related to taxation.

Anyone who will be 18 by Election Day, has recently moved or has never voted needs to register. Anyone uncertain about his or her status can check his or her registration record at the State Board of Elections website: www.sbe.virginia.gov.

In South Hampton Roads, here's how to reach the voter registrar:

I once saw a guy outside a grocery store urging people to register to vote because Obama was running. I asked him if people are too lazy or stupid to register on their own, do you really want them voting? For once, I saw a Liberal speechless.
