Voter purging in North Carolina

If I am forced to cast a provisional ballot next month there will be hell to pay. This is nothing but a blatant attempt at suppressing votes.

That happened to me once during the 1990's in a local election to modify the mayor's term from 2 years to 4. At my polling place my name wasn't listed. I showed them letter I received notifying where to vote but all they could do was to have me cast a provisional ballot. A few months later I received letter of apology stating that my vote "should" have been counted.

When vote-by-mail was instituted wide-scale I jumped on it to avoid any last-minute surprise. I have my completed ballot in the mail well ahead of time and then go on-line a few days later to see if it has been verified. No way do I share the mindset of the election-day voters that trust the competency of government workers and their powerless volunteers manning the election day poll sites.

Or maybe an effort to make voting what it actually is.

But good luck collecting hell.
 

Got the above letter in the mail yesterday. What a bunch of horseshit. The claim is that some information is not matching, I call bullshit. I have voted in every single election, every single primary, since 1980. I have only had two addresses in 45 years. Social Security number and Drivers License number have been the same since that first registration. Yes, I vote early, and yes, I vote Democrat. That seems to be the problem.

So, I get on it. I go to the DMV website, attempt to update my voter registration. Service not available. Then I attempt to get there through other links and manage to get through. Everything matched, but I updated anyway and then I get a message. Any updates done less than 25 days before an election will not be processed till after the election. The primary is 21 days out, 22 if you count yesterday.
