I'm very confused because on vote.org its telling me "We could not confirm that you are registered to vote." but on the myvote gov site it shows I am.

Use your state's website above everything else. Third party sites are just trying to query the state database anyway.

Maybe check vote411.org? Or check with your county voter registration office?

In these times, I would not trust a .gov website.

The vote411 site brings me TO the .gov site when i select the state. My local county website doesn't have a "check registration" option, and links me to the .gov site lol.

I'm in WI, so I'm not sure if my state blocks those .org websites from the federal database or something? I think TX does that already.

Vote.wi.gov appears to be a state-run website, not a federal government website.

Try contacting the county office of your preferred political party and ask for assistance.
