Please. Please tell me no one is actually considering online voting. There's no way to maintain anonymity and vote integrity.
@thefartographer@lemm.ee Have you checked yours? Mine is all good.
Yup! Mine and every voting age member of my family in San Antonio! Thanks for checking
Apparently there are more Texans around than we initially thought.
Is that a good thing? Should there really be more of us?
I have made no claims as to the goodness or badness of the situation. I'm just observing.
But no matter how many Texans show up there's no replacement for us.

hell mine is in "suspense" because "the registrar is unsure of my residential address". been here for nearly 4 years and my DL is up to date for 3.5 of them. looked up my info and they still have me in the old county rolls. can i vote in the old county while actually living in the new one?
To be safe itnsounds like younhave to register to vote every year.
Just donit when its the "spring forward" part of daylight savings.
Or everytime you're stopped outside a grocery store by the person with the clipboard.
Definitely check voter registration. Quick and easy at state or county website. And register any change of address (along with updating ID, DL).
I usually remember to check about a month before election, or when I see a new illegal "voter purge" in the news (always GOP).
April Fool’s is another potential reminder if it works for anybody :)
