I hope that you don't have the same name as someone convicted on felony charges at the Federal level. ;)Quote:
What about the third option... I am registered to vote, but I have not recieved a voter ID card.

You have to register because you can live in any of the 50 states. Votes are balanced via state by many different mechanisms. You also have to prove "where" you live for local election purposes that affect your city or county or school district.
Ok, then it's no so different than here...
Man, i live in Spain, i know so complicated can be live in a country with several states... We have 4 offcial languges other than spanish, every "state" has their own goverment, etc.. We have to vote to our city, our "state", to Spain goverment and now for UE parliament :rolleyes:Quote:
It's very complicated. But it's like 50 different countries united via a Federal government.
Thank you very much, i understand better now...Quote:
The United States. Hope that helps.
For instance it would not be fair for a person living in New York, to drive out to California and vote for a governer of senate member in california. So if one moves from New York to California they would have to "register" in California and vote at a specific place and time. Otherwise it would be hard to manage 229,000,000 voters in their respective states and districs.
//Edit In many states you are registered when you get or update your driver license information. That is your voter ID card.
Glad to help, I learned something also about Spain so thank you.
I'm with Jarrod...
Registered for a while now, no card...
Yea, whats up with this card thing? Is that something new? Although I am probably older than alot of people here. Been registered for many years, I just show my drivers license when I go to vote.
The voter card might be a state thing, but I will wait for ImitationRust to reply back. I have always used my drivers license.

This is turning into the "confusing butterfly ballot in Palm Beach County"
Disregard the catchy phrase USA voter ID card(state to state differences) and stick with
Yes I'm registered/
I'm NOT registered/
I'm also registered to vote, but no card.
//edit -- Oops! Didn't see there was a whole second page to this. Nevermind! :D
I changed the poll (the voting options, not the results :D).
In Florida, you have to have a voter registration card stating your county and your party affiliation, issued by the voter registration bureau. I've had mine for months, when I registered (we just moved to this county in October) mine was given to me on the spot. When my husband finally registered a couple of weeks ago, they mailed him his and he got it today. I finally got his attention when I told him that not voting was going to be construed as voting for the wrong party and he was going to be sleeping on the couch for a long time if he didn't get in gear and get registered. ;)
