      Probably they are matching voter ID to driver’s license records. Thats what we did when preparing this kind of report was my job, at any rate.

          Your life must be very unfilfilling if you’ve got nothing better to do than… whatever this is.

          Yes you give it to them when you get say a drivers license. Your one joke doesnt work at all with the DMV especially given the nature of the bureaucracy involved.

            Texas is an exception now. And they’re compiling a list of everyone that requests their gender markers to be changed.
