A great way to sign up voters is to talk to the line of people at the Free Medical Clinic on Harden St (right next to the fire station). Every day before the door opens at 9 am there's a long line. These people have no medical coverage at all and Obama's health care proposal would help them tremendously.
These are good people. They have lost their job, they are mothers who can't get a job that covers daycare costs, they are forced retirees waiting to get old enough for Medicare, they are disabled but have not been able to get disability coverage, and they have all been turned down for Medicaid. I know because I volunteered there for a year before becoming too disabled myself to help them.
Be there at 8:30 every day you can. They will listen whether you talk to them individually or have a speaker who can talk to the entire line at once. Some days the line starts at 7 am, even when it's raining or freezing. Some coffee and donuts would help them but is not necessary at all. They may appear aloof or uninterested to begin with but this is a defensive posture - they feel bad physically and they feel bad because they are forced to compete for scarce free medical care. Tell them it's not their fault that they are in this position. Give them self-respect and hope for the future. Then ask them to register.
I'm sorry to just provide this suggestion without doing the work myself. But I am too disabled to drive there and stand up without massive pain.
Good luck and thank you to those who go out of their way to reach these people.
Hey - the bus station on Sumter(?) is also a good place to register voters.
