1. I'm in Illinois. Checked mine yesterday, took less than two minutes.

Highly suggest it. No scummy republican surprises on voting day.

5. Tarrant County now has a SOS portal

It gives several methods to look up your info.

1. Enter VUID and dob

2. Enter TDL and dob

3. Enter name, county and dob

Upon researching tried #3 first. The fields would not let me enter my full name, or county. So, it didn’t find me.
Tried #1, it also didn’t find me.

Called TC elections office and they looked me up and verified I’m still registered.

I went back and tried #2 and my info popped up.

So yea, I don’t have to go out and reregister.

6. Many states have done this and it's not directed against Democratic voters

... in spite of the way it looks. Well more Democratic voters than Repukes have been dropped from the voter rolls but there are reasons for that.

This all came about when states started requiring proof of ID when we vote in person. What do we show for ID? Most of us show our state drivers license, while some show a US passport or another form of ID. If the name or the address on our ID doesn't match the name/address on our voter registration, which one do they believe? They believe the ID because it's more recent, it has a photo and a signature that can presumably be verified. The info on the voter registration can't always be verified and it's presumed to be out of date.

The reasons for someone being dropped from voter registration:
1) Name doesn't match - maybe your license says "Robert X. Jones" and your voter reg says "Bob Jones"
2) Name is different - maybe you're a woman who got married (or divorced) which involved a name change, and voter registration hasn't been updated
3) Address is different - maybe you've moved recently and didn't report it to voter registration, but your driver's license has the new address. This is important because it could mean you need to vote in a different precinct/district/county etc. Dems tend to be city dwellers who change residence more often than suburban or rural people (more likely to vote R).

If you have been deleted from the voter registration (for whatever reason) it's no reason to panic. Be sure to check before the deadline to re-register, and it's usually (for most states) 30 days before Election Day. You can re-register in person or online, and be sure to use the same name and address that shows on your ID. This ID must be shown when you vote on Election Day.

Don't get angry, don't take it as a personal attack. Just show your ID and you'll be allowed to vote. No election official can deny your right to vote. You might be asked to vote on a "provisional ballot" if there is a question about your ID, residential address or citizenship. The poll officials will check these things (it's their job) and then allow your ballot to be counted.
