MODERATORS
Check voter registration here.
If you live in a swing state, check it weekly to make sure you won't be scrubbed by the Republicans and make sure your information is up to date.
If you need to register, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING TO A GOD DAMN LETTER. They will do everything to make sure they can toss your vote.
Practice your signature over and over. This will be the key part in tossing out your vote if you vote by mail. Make sure it matches.
I forgot to add that EVEN IF YOU DONT LIVE IN A SWING STATE CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION OFTEN. Don't put it past Republicans to attempt to scrub your vote to keep state houses.
#VOTE
That might explain why my shithole battleground state suddenly bounced my DL change of address over a “signature capture” despite it being apparently perfectly fucking fine for a Real ID application last year.
Yes that would probably be the reason.
Shitty Life Pro Tip: Register as Republican to protect yourself from voter role purges by Republicans. Registration of party places no limits on who or what you can vote in the general election.
It can affect which primaries you can vote in though, so keep that in mind.
At least in my state it doesn't even effect that. When you go to vote in the primary, you declare what party's ballot you want to use. So if you want the other party's ballot, simply state that then and you'll vote for the other party's primary candidates.
Who checks that you are only registered with one party?
This has been sorta true for a long time, but it’s never been more true than now. The orange sociopathic rapist felon has mindwiped enough republiQans to cause fuckery in every state.
A little bird told me the local fascists are passing around the signup sheet for “poll watching” last week.
