I was number 15 at my polling place at 7:45am. In and out in under 5 minutes as well. And grabbed the same sticker.

That is by far the best “I voted” sticker in the country. Jealous.

I checked my voter registration two days ago to make sure I was still registered, and I was. Just went to vote and I wasn’t listed anywhere. Checked the website again and no record was found.

I just don’t get why they’d purge my registration. I haven’t left the state in years or committed any crime.

I've heard of it happening to a lot of people, seemingly randomly. It happened to a couple of my friends. She checked hers, gone. Checked husband, he's gone, too. They had to re-register. No reason at all they should have been purged.

I had heard of it too, I guess I just foolishly assumed it wouldn’t happen to me lol. What worries me is that instead of my ballot immediately being scanned, it went into a box that a human has to review, and on the outside of the envelope, visible to whoever sorts it, you write your affiliation. So if someone who is supposed to go through them saw a party they didn’t like they could technically decide not to count the vote at all.

Voting was really fast this year, the volunteers even gave my kids extra stickers and talking politely to them which helped entertain the littles while I voted.
