Side­bar of voter reg­is­tra­tion info from GoogleMaps.com/vote

The really cool bit of this video is the ser­vice Google Maps has put together for it.  You just enter your address and they’ll print out how many days you have left reg­is­ter to vote for this year’s pres­i­den­tial elec­tion.  The Google Maps search results show you how many days you have left to reg­is­ter, where to reg­is­ter and where to get more infor­ma­tion.  It’s a bril­liant blend of infor­ma­tion plus loca­tion search and is really some­thing that our gov­ern­ment should have pro­vided us rather than a pet project of a pri­vate company.
