    Generally speaking your state’s Secretary of State and/or County Clerk are the ones to contact regarding your registration status. And not some Fascist Nazi Billionaire, just sayin’.

    Also consider consider volunteering to be an Election Worker, and/or helping others to get to the polls.

      1000x this! Many states are facing a poll worker shortage.

      The vast majority of counties/cities pay poll workers for their time, and some cities can pay very well depending on your role.

      Your scope of work involves a scheduled pollworker training class, a 15 hour day on election day, using a laptop, assisting voters, checking drivers licenses, some light paperwork, setting up and tearing down booths and tables/chairs. It’s a very easy job.

      if you can get a PTO day, depending on the rules of your main workplace, you can get paid twice for one day! Great way to make extra money and help out with the electoral process too!

        Poll worker shortage? Have you lot considered slavery? Over here in Spain all poll workers are just forced to be there. Such a great way to enjoy your day off (elections are always on Sunday over here).

          In Germany, it’s usually volunteers, but you may also be drafted in case there is a shortage. However, you get some Euros “refreshment allowance”.

            You get a pittance here too. Far from enough to make me wake up early on a Sunday, go there and take part in that farce even if it lasted just one hour, not even close, much less staying there the whole fucking day, then counting the fucking ballots, and counting them again, and again… copying the results by hand more than a dozen times—one for each of the parties’ observer (? Not sure this is the name. Specially one of them was an absolute asshole), and then taking them to the district council in my own fucking car.

          That’s harsh, though I guess you could argue it’s no worse than jury service as it’s done here in the UK which is at least two weeks usually.

            Idk, bit different. In that case there’s a reason to have a more random sample, and not volunteers, and you are fulfilling the right of the defendant to a jury of their peers that you might need to use too at some point. But I guess one should be able to opt out of it and then be tried by the judge instead.

    stay away, far away, from anything elon muskrat is funding or promoting.

    instead go to the source. your state. states and local governments are responsible for administration of elections, even ‘national’ races like for president.

    ballotpedia is part of a 501c3 non-profit based in wisconsin. this is their list of links to each state’s voter registration web site:

      Idiots who worship corpos love musk and hate the state is usually what I see. They want a cybertruck and a trumphone. They have utter hate and distrust of government and or the state and happily lick the toes of PedElon.

        Yes all voting does is suppress the proper revolution. The revolution only happens when the people have enough, but so long as they have a way to vent and pretend they’re doing something it will never happen. That’s why the bourgeoisie came up with “democracy”

          Yes, when you play by “their” rules you lose because “they” are not playing, you are.

              Are you actually mentally disabled or did you just grow up in an uneducated household full of hatred? I mean, it’s probably both. That was a rhetorical question. You can Google what that word means.

                  Whatever you say, pedophile protector, whatever you say😂

                  And one more thing before I block you so I don’t have to have my eyes read any of your drivel anymore, your comments read like one of those inbreds with a novel written on the back of their pickup truck, complete with terrible grammar and abbreviations no one has ever heard of beside for the people from your trailer park. It really is truly astonishing. If anything, upstanding citizens such as yourself only bolster the rest of us. If I could vote twice like your buddy elon did I absolutely would. LIMBOTHEVIDEOGAMEXD or whatever you’re spewing on about. And do us all a favor, GPIT teehee
