I managed to scrape together enough ID to vote. Luckily they didn't object to the fact that my lease is dated September 2007-August 2008, because all my bills are electronic. :p They also apparently didn't care that the name on the lease wasn't the same as the name on my health card. :p

The point is, whoo, voted. :p

I keep forgetting to update my ID because I'm never ID'd unless I'm voting. I think so long as no one else shows up claiming to be you, they're fine.

They brought in more extensive rules this year. Also, I was registering because it's the first election since I moved. :p

Was it little old ladies? Little old ladies will let you get away with a lot if you're polite and honest-looking.

It was a little old lady and an old man. I'm guessing that's why I got away with the old lease in the wrong name. Little old ladies LOVE me and give me rides home from church when it's raining. :p

Well, the proof of residency thing is new and a PAIN due to the aforementioned electronic bills. Apparently it's been causing problems up north with people in rural areas whose mail goes to a post office box because they live in the middle of nowhere. I don't mind proving identity, but proving address kinda sucks. :p

Indiana voter reg forms have a space where you can draw a map for your home if you don't have an address.

"Right here! About halfway up this mountain. Yep." :p (It would probably help :p)

"Enough" ID? How bad ARE the new rules?

[yubsie]

Mostly the problem is that I don't have my driver's license. You'd think that a passport would be all the ID I ever needed, but it doesn't have an address on it. So I had t find something to prove my address... when all the bills in MY name are electronic. (And there aren't many bills in EITHER of our names, since most of our utilities are included in our rent)

I'm just lucky they weren't picky about the names on everything matching. :p
