All the -ma, sj.
I hope everything gets sorted for you soon and easily, Cass. It's a lot to keep track of, when you have already had so very much.
I was on hold for half an hour with the State which was the contact listed on my email Confirmation from the 3rd of August with my updated voter information including an affidavit number. They said they could see that and it was something the county needed to fix and they'd transfer me. Another half hour on hold. They can see my updated address, that I changed my address to vote and my affidavit number but I am — this gets good — not registered to vote. Because the USPS halted processing a large nearly two million number of address changes because it was election season. They have to push the request which they've seen a lot of and then should mail out my voter registration in three to five days. They won't call or email to confirm. So I have to call back Friday and see if I'm magically able to vote again. This took me over an hour and my boss will let me have any time I need to make sure I'm registered and legally vote. But how many people have this luxury? Because I'll wait on hold tomorrow, Friday and raise hell. It's like there are deliberate actions being taken at the Post Office to stop people from being able to vote. Because a confirmation of my voter registration time and date stamped with an affidavit number honestly led me to believe that I'd updated the address on my registration, not that I'd no longer be registered at all.
This is one way to develop an advocate who will go door to door or whatever next election to make sure people are set.
I know that there is a political party who wants voter suppression and that has to stop.
