Voting 101: Fact Vs. Fiction

If you're a regular News & Notes listener (thanks, by the way), you know that we feature topical series each month. We just wrapped our month-long series on addiction. Next up is voting.

On tomorrow's show, we'll be taking your questions about the basics of voting and dispelling some myths -- some more outlandish than others -- like:

* You can't vote if you have outstanding parking tickets or loans.

* You will get an FBI file if you show up at the polls on voting day.

* You can't vote for a Republican, if you're registered as a Democrat (or vice versa).

So if you have any questions you want answered or myths you want addressed, leave us a comment below.
