Check your Voter Status! I have always been registered as an Independant. I recently decided to upgrade to Repulican! I downloaded, filled in, sent it in and waited. Checked my staus today and it has indeed been updated, to Optional. WTF I called my County Clerks office to inquire why this happened and she says "we aren't required to update it since it's a non-partisan election". So I tell her this was an update, and that she needed to clarify. She says " it's not necessary for us to enter your affiliation". I tell her oh hell yes it is! That's the whole point of sending it in and I'll wait for her to manually update it while I'm on the phone. She gets incredibly pissed, puts me on hold, comes back on the line 17:54 minutes later and says "ma'am it's done". And then hung up on me. Check your Voter Status!
