Texas
Related: About this forumI will be checking with my County Election Office to see if my registration is still recorded even
though I voted in the TX Primary through early ballot. After voting, I heard one of the election officials ask if I needed to fill out a white card. The person that took my drivers license and ran it through a computer keyboard scanner said no. To me, that meant that they, the county and state, was aware of how I registered to vote. I was ask to answer to Democrat or Republican after surrendering my TX Driver's License. I felt intimidated.

(145,800 posts)records. You can vote if the name on your photo id is substantially similar to the name of the voter registration records but they may want you to change the wording of your name on the voter registration records to conform to your id. I was the election judge for the joint primary run off in May of 2014 and I had 40+ people out of 200+ voters fill out name change forms to avoid problems in the general election. Most of the changes are minor.
The fact that you were allowed to vote is fine. It is possible that the election officials may ask you to conform your voter registration records to your photo id. I had a number of GOP voters who had different spellings of their name on their Concealed Handgun Carry permits than their drivers' license. Most of these types ended up showing me their drivers license in order to avoid this rather minor degree of paperwork.
GOP voters who vote with their CHLs in Texas are invariably assholes and so I did not mind being strict on the names being exactly the same.
Most primaries are joint primaries which means that the county did not have sufficient machines to have two checkins and two lines of voting machines. The election worker has to know which party you are in to issue you the right ballot style. My county lacked sufficient machines to do separate primaries this cycle and so we did a joint primary

(4,695 posts)Why is a driver's license needed? The Texas Legislature just wanted me to surrender my driver's license to them by way of their agents. That makes me remember that I had to pay the state for the state license to vote. How intimidating. Voting is a federal constitutional right, not a state right.

(4,695 posts)The most likely enabler of Voter-Affiliation-Switching is the integration of new electronic voter
registration software with GEM$ vote software, plus a Microsoft app, made specifically for Hillary for 2016, that interfaces with the voter registration software. I believe this app is currently licensed with the DNC and it has been shared with the Sanders campaign.

The Microsoft proprietary mobile app both tracks the vote count and allows voter registration field input of new registrations. This app was originally ordered by the Hillary campaign and shared with the other Democratic presidential campaigns through distribution by the DNC. However, the software remains proprietary which proved off-putting to the Sanders campaign such that they refused to rely on the app for purposes of tracking the vote. This trade secret, custom, mobile app has the capability to query and to enter data into the electronic voter registration database that is integrated into the GEM$ vote compilation software. The app may also have the functionality to accept campaign name lists to bulk verify registration "status" - status details currently not known.
Low voter turn out may hide corruption. Arizona and New York may prove to be an eyeopening turn out the vote, for the Democratic Party.
