I had to reregister to vote today [View all]

This is a follow-up on my Monday’s post.

Went to my supervisor of elections today after realizing my TrueID driver license number had been changed without notification during the last renewal in January…..the old number I’d held since 1968.

Upon arrival, I had to fill out new voter registration forms. I told the clerk that I hadn’t been notified by the Florida DMV of the change in my identity information and ask what would have happened if I just showed to vote in the next election. Her reply was it PROBABLY wouldn’t have affected my eligibility if I voted in person. The issue would arise with mail in voting.

I’ve notified friends and family, none who were aware of potential issues though several had new licenses issued with new numbers.

To all the DUers out there. Please check for any potential changes in your identity data and spread the word! I didn’t realize how devious the government could be in subverting voter eligibility. Thanks!

Peace ☮️
