Check your registration and see if it's still okay.

I find that while the Secretary of State website still offers registration through a web form, my local County Board of Elections is talking about some sort of paper - not online - form that you have to turn in to their office to get registered.

Do I need it? Or am I already covered from last time? Maybe the piece of paper is only required for new voters in the county? Who knows, so check your own situation. I suspect the fuckery has been ramped up since Republicans in office got results on marijuana and abortion that they didn't like when the voters showed up last November and August.

I am a guy who glanced at the Secretary of State and local County Board websites, and not an authoritative source, you'll need to research your specific situation in your county.

I close with a reminder that they sneak all kinds of stuff onto the primary ballots, they are never just about who is going to end up President.

For example, my local ballot will have a vote on it to refresh the funding for the developmental difficulties program, and the local public parks. This is why I show up, I'm looking for this stuff, it's not going on other ballots, so you have to get at it during primaries.

We still have mail-in voting, and early in-person voting, both of which start on February 21, a day after the last day to register, which again is February 20.

The official Primary Day is not until March 19, but the voter registration cutoff is 30 days earlier, that's the important date, one more time, February 20.

Keep using these rights as much as you can stand, because I don't think they intend to let us keep them if they can help it.
