UPDATE #1: Thanks friends for the recommendations. Let's get this diary front and center so we can fulfill the primary DailyKos objective... electing Democratic candidates!
There are LESS THAN 24 hours until polls close!
Not sure if this information was already reported in a former diary...
As a former Madison WI resident, and a current Obama supporter, I know how important this area is to tomorrow's GOTV effort.
Madison's local newspaper the Capital Times reports that polling locations were misreported for eight wards on the west side and two wards on the east side of Madison.

Incorrect polling locations published for east, west sides
The Capital Times — 2/18/2008 4:34 pm
Incorrect polling place information was published today for eight wards in the city of Madison, six of them at one location on the west side and two on the east side.
The correct polling place for Wards 83, 110, 112, 119, 120 and 129 is The Jefferson, 9401 Old Sauk Road.
The legal notices published in today's editions of the Wisconsin State Journal and The Capital Times also incorrectly identified the polling places for Ward 5 and Ward 8 on the east side. Residents of Ward 5 should go to Door Creek Church, 6602 Dominion Drive to vote. The correct polling place for Ward 8 [see update #2] is Oakwood Village East, 5565 Tancho Drive.
City of Madison voters with questions regarding the location of their polling place can call the City Clerk's office at 266-4601 or visit the clerk's website.
Now get this...
UPDATE #2: For some reason, the online article wrongly called Ward 8 "Ward 83"... didn't they just tell us the polling location for Ward 83 was on Old Sauk Road?
Oh the Capital Times, I don't miss ya! According to the only Madison District/Ward map I can find online, Ward 8 appears closest to 5565 Tancho Drive, so I'm assuming that must be the right place. But I really can't confirm that this is correct... so, the take home message is that if you are on the West or East side of Madison double-check your polling location. I sure hope the respective campaigns have volunteers at both locations with signs.
Please get this information out to your friends and family in WI. To be 100% certain of your polling place, visit the website of Madison's City Clerk.
UPDATE #3: OK, this isn't much of an update other than to say... let's get out the vote!!!!!!!!! Make some calls!
UPDATE #4: Here's the WI statewide website for checking your polling location, even if you're outside of Madison. A good link to include in your emails to WI friends and family.
