Re: Early Voting

...the only march that counts is the one to the voting booth.

I need you to go to the polls this year and vote for pro-Second Amendment candidates. I need you to get as many fellow gun owners and supporters out to vote on Election Day.

It is not a normal thing.
If you had someone else's credentials, it may have tripped you up. I wish they'd actually pay attention to the pictures and really verify voters, everywhere... sounds like your precinct was pretty careful.

Another example: I still get the voter registration cards for the lady who used to live in my house... and she's been dead almost 9 yrs. (she should have dropped off the current voter list several times.) If we were dishonest, she could have voted for the last 9 years, as we got the renewal for her DL in the mail a few years back as well. :shock: Not surprising that you hear of dead people voting all the time... because it would be simple to pull off. That's why I'm in favor of strict voter ID laws/procedures.

Now, if they tended to vote R after death, I'd let all of my angst go. :lol:
LOL!

I think she was playing either Colombo and trying to "trip me up" or flirt. I am a big supporter of having a photo ID, because voting using a utility bill for ID after you drove to the polling location is absurd. And if the photo didn't look like me, or the addresses were inconsistent that would be a red flag.

I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but the last thing I need is another female stalker ;-)

She read my address and asked if it was my current and correct address. I said yes and she gave me my slip so I could vote. Did the same to my wife on a different day. May be more normal than you realize. I've noticed little changes in processes and procedures just about every time I vote.

Your address is public record if you own your home.
Having a home address (PII) as public record is also a major security issue.
Personal safety

In some professions, it is dangerous for a person's identity to become known, because this information might be exploited violently by their enemies; for example, their enemies might hunt them down or kidnap loved ones to force them to cooperate. For this reason, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) has strict policies controlling release of PII of DoD personnel.[35] Many intelligence agencies have similar policies, sometimes to the point where employees do not disclose to their friends that they work for the agency.

Similar identity protection concerns exist for witness protection programs, women's shelters, and victims of domestic violence and other threats.

Must've been your location. I voted in Dallas county this morning and they didn't ask me anything.

No line either at 10am.
Thanks! I have worked elections in Harris county and thought it was a bizarre question.

I selected straight party (R), but then went back and changed my vote for George P. I just can't support him and his plan to ruin the Alamo.
Jerry Patterson, a Republican, endorses Democrat Miguel Suazo over George P. Bush

There is no way I could vote for George P. either
