News8Austin: Marathon voter registration rushes to beat deadline
Time is running out for non-registered voters wanting to vote in the Nov. 2 elections. Midnight Oct. 4 is the deadline to register.
I think I'm on a voter roll somewhere. I need to get that removed.
So volunteers with Democracy for Texas put together a marathon effort to register voters.They will stay near the intersection of Rio Grande and Seventh in downtown Austin until midnight Monday.
Jeff Manson and other volunteers hope their efforts will pay off with more voters and with a more politically-engaged public.
"A lot of people aren't registered and I think if they registered and they voted, I think our government would represent us better," Manson said.

No, it wouldn't. Your vote is intended to represent you and not anyone else. An individual vote cannot represent a community because you can define a community any which way you wish to and the individuals within get aggregated out of existence. I cannot be represented because my representative would quit on Day One and take as much of the state with him or her as possible. Who'd want a job like that?
Can't want till November 2nd has passed. The number of "civic duty" stories is becoming sick.
