Woohooo!!! Got my Voter Registration in the mail! Thanks Americans for Prosperity!! (Koch funded) Only a couple of problems. 1) I have been registered to vote since I was 18. 2) The form was addressed to me at my parents house (which I haven't lived at in over 25 years) and 3) its full of misinformation.
So I figured I would take a few pics to show the errors
1) the due date for registration is 25 days before the election not 30 as it states in the section on the top half of the mailer.
2) It then states again later on down the mailer that the registration due date IS 25 days before the election. (which is correct, but confusing because of whats in bolder print in the above)
3) If you have any questions about voter registration please do not contact the Secretary of States office as thats not who is in charge of voter registration and
4) I find this one most despicable is the paid for envelope in the mailer, sends the registration to the Board of Elections in Raleigh. If you want to be registered to vote you do not send your registration to Raleigh, you send it to your county Board. Also the zip code is wrong on the envelope.....
See pics and info below the squigly............
Oh and here is the number to Americans for Prosperity office located in Raleigh that sent out this misinformation......give them a call and tell them how you feel....

So if any of my friends have received this mailer - I will post some factual pertinent info

7:42 PM PT: Thanks for the Rec List. I know a lot of this info was out there, but I just wanted to put a personal story to the voting headlines here in North Carolina. Hopefully this will also help to piss folks off here in NC and be a motivating factor in getting folks to understand whats at stake here.
