Know your status

Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.

i use a site called TurboVote run by a nonprofit that sends me reminders based on where im registered to vote before every election. it sends me an email to remind me to check my registration, to apply for absentee ballots, etc. it’s helpful so that you can check if you’ve been purged regularly (and participate in the local races that never get any publicity); https://turbovote.org/

Please register and check with your town/city hall often to make sure you are still registered. Please vote.

Considerably less than two months, now. If you haven’t checked, check TODAY.

You can check your current registration status at Headcount.org.

Wonderful

Fun fact : Felons can vote. Not while they are in jail obviously but once they get out they just have to ask their governor for their voting rights back. Sometimes it’s as easy as writing a letter. Patrol officers tend not to share this information cuz their main priority is to catch you slipping rather than to help felons reintegrate.

Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”
