taxevader69:rowantheexplorer:symphonyofmars:mistressvioleta:elyseeeeew:otahkoapisiakii:!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registeredPLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.orgKnow 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. Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.This is a major issue right now also in Georgia and Wisconsin. Georgia purged 300k+ voters with the “stopping voter fraud” excuse and people are losing registration. -- source link
