After last night's presidential debate, it's only fitting that today, September 27, is National Voter Registration Day - a day to highlight voter registration opportunities and create awareness around exactly when and how voting can be possible for all.

If you don't think people have trouble figuring out how to vote, know that in 2008, 6 million Americans didn't vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn't know how to register.

The good news? Early voting is open in Minnesota. Go to mnvotes.org and read all about it. You can literally vote today.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that feature making a choice?

Songs played

The Lovin' Spoonful - Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?
Guided By Voices - Vote For Me Dummy
The Cranberries - Free To Decide
My Morning Jacket - Big Decisions
Cloud Cult - It's Your Decision
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
Devo - Freedom Of Choice
Bo Diddley - Who Do You Love?
