11. There isn't anything you can do once your ballot is cast.

Is your mailing address different than your voting address? Lots of people move without updating their voter registration. They may think their address is the new address, but it's really an old address. It's about 25% of the population where I live. Many times, this can go on for at least 30 years or longer.

Oh and depending on the source that you look at, it may indicate your old district because the new district does not go into effect until after the election.

I believe the SOS lists current districts! I'm still listed in Castro's cuz he's my guy until January 1st, but I had to vote against that Repuke Tony Gonzales. Gosh, I dread having an R as my congressional rep.
