Comment on Goddammit Texas!
AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 months agoYes, my husband was on the suspended list in our county for years, despite us owning the same home since 2013. He’d even fill out the little address verification card and send it back, stating that the location on record was still valid. Didnt matter, because every single election he would still pop up “suspended” at the polls. He had his TDL, and he’d have to fill out an extra form, but he’d be allowed to vote.
This year, I decided enough was enough and we put our house up for sale, because once I leave Texas this time, I’m not coming back.
I contacted our county registrars office to get our VUIDs so I could update our new address at our rental, and we found out he just…didnt have a VUID? They had no record of him voting in Texas at all…yet he’s been able to vote with a “suspended” status with his TDL for years now…living at an address he hasnt deviated from since he originally registered in Texas.
Honestly, I think he was just finally removed since he’d been in “suspended” so long 🤷♀️. Im unsure if it was a legit mistake, or if some genuine fuckery was going on.
But we’re all gucci now. Both confirmed registration again back in September. Awaiting 21 Oct with bated breath!
