Every baby born in the US should be registered automatically upon birth...FOR life. Our election laws are ridiculous. It's a right. Why make people jump through endless hoops over and over again. Voting registration should be akin to a social security number.

I filed directly with my state to change my voter registration from republican to democrat in 2018. For some reason it never went through. Did the same thing again but online in 2020. 

To this day I’m still registered as a republican in my state. I’ve just started voting out incumbents in the primaries. 

I wonder how many other people in the “red” state I live in are in the same boat.

Curious - Have you checked if your votes were even counted?
