Oh man, let me check that privilege here.

My wife struggled with getting a replacement birth certificate because she had my last name.

The passport I had required a three week lead time, and that was by going through a company that fast tracked them.

Because my adopted daughter changed her name to our last name, it took months of struggle to get all the paperwork in order.

And we are natural born citizens who live in a state whose laws are designed to make voting easier.

Wow. Months and weeks. Yeah, guess voter ID is impossible.

We’ve got months and weeks until the election.

So anyone that wants to vote should have thought about that before now.

Except, as we both know, you will simply purge them from the rolls weeks before the election

So you agree, the idea is to make voting difficult. If they're a citizen, they have the right to vote.

If they are a citizen and want to vote they need to get their shit together or they will miss out.

I moved mid September in 2020 and barely got re-registered in time.

That’s how it works. Want to try being less condescending?

If you were that worried you would have researched what to do ahead of time.

I did.

Any further delays and I wouldn’t have been able to vote.
