New Voter Information Card

We just got our new voter ID cards and everything seems fine EXCEPT the zip code on our address is for Chinie, AZ. I'm sure if others have the same mistake, they may not have noticed it. I am registered as a Democrat, so I have to wonder if this is an honest error or if this is a way to keep us from voting because our driver's license won't exactly match the address on our registration.

Be vigilant if you live in DeSatan's Florida.

New anti-voting laws, new redistricting... thus new cards for everyone, I guess. My voting place hasn't changed, but it has the correct zip code (which is the same as my real one).

My license expired two years ago, and due to covid and health issues, now down to a cataract, I haven’t yet been able get a new license. I was able to vote in 2020, because it hadn’t been expired for a year, and in 2021 because my wife vouched for me (which is allowed).

Suddenly, last week, I received a new voter ID card in the mail. I already had one, but this new one has a PIN number. I can use this card to vote (even though it has no photo), either in person, or absentee by using the PIN number on the ballot instead of a DL number. They sent it because they have no record of a valid license for me (duh). My wife also got a new card, but hers can’t be used as a ID to vote, because she has a valid license. It doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not complaining.

No one should have to pay for an ID just to vote if they're eligible otherwise.

all of this jumping-through-hoops to vote is part of the GOP voter suppression efforts - they can't win on their ideas so they rely on such efforts to "help" them
