Are you being deliberately dense in ignoring the laundry list of ids that are admissible in Canada in comparison to the single photo id admissible in some US states? Perhaps you could explain why the Canucks have that laundry list rather than a single id?

We have a laundry list of ID for everything for the most part.

I am done here you insults are not acceptable and trigger my mental health.

If you think something shady has happened, perhaps file a formal complaint with the country registrar and the da.

I found the information Leslie needed to correct her voter ID in 10 seconds and two mouse clicks, with the help of Google the Good. It's fairly simple.

What's really ticked Leslie off is that somehow her registration card was mailed to her and contained, for the first time ever on any of her IDs, her ex-husband's surname as her surname. I certainly don't think some faceless employee deep in the Texas voter registration bureaucracy had anything to do with it, but it would be very interesting to find out what procedure resulted in the change. That would be a lot more difficult than simply following the instructions to correct the voter ID. If the registrar wanted her off the rolls, there are much simpler ways.

Erm ... You're the one that called me lazy. If your delicate sensibilities cannot take insults, perhaps you should refrain from dishing them out. You made insulting and disrespectful statements and are now, having been challenged, playing the victim.

Heat. Kitchen. Out.

To say you are missing the point is the most understated understatement in the history of all statements that have ever been undered. I don't need you to "fix" the problem with your stunning Googling skills, but thanks anyway Dad.

If the state of Texas had "mistakenly" changed my name during the time that I was actually married, rather than 7 years after I was divorced, it would be a lot less suspect. I'm sure it had nothing at all to do with (1) Obama winning the White House twice, (2) single white women overwhelmingly voting Democrat and (3) the inevitable and impending purpling of Texas.

I don't think it's technically illegal. But rather an opportunistic enforcement of an archaic law.

I'm going to re-register and keep all of the documentation. If they change my name again, I'll pursue it further.

Holy shit - did someone actually claim to be 'triggered'? Is BE becoming tumblr now?

I'll pop over to Reddit to see if that's true

Yes, apparently he thought he had some sort of Harry Potter invisible cloak, where he could throw around insults and lecture other people but nobody could possibly say anything back to him because he's "special".

The irony of being called a whiner by this particular poster does not escape me.

Ahh, there you go.

YSCQWD (You should recheck your acronym)

It's shocking to me that somebody as (allegedly) intelligent as Jeb Bush is so easily and consistently trolled by Donald Trump. He falls for it every time. His answer, "GWB kept us safe." is a complete nightmare. Now there's a huge debate about whether W actually did keep us safe ... which is not helping Jeb at all. The correct answer is, "Trump is entitled to his opinion, I happen to disagree. However, GWB isn't running for president, I am, and Donald Trump is obviously trying to provoke me."

Thanks for the lecture on personal responsibility. Only one problem, I do have an ID, several forms actually. I have always had current, legal, government ID, since I was a teenager.

Helpful. Not.

Leslie, I didn't mean to upset you and I didn't miss your point. My suggestion as to what ticked you off should relay that.

Dad

I'm not upset, weirdo.

There are several different topics getting mixed up in your brain.

First, the discussion that was going on in the thread was about voter suppression. I offered my anecdotal experience (not to be a lazy whiner) as an example of how votes can be suppressed by confusion and bureaucratic chicanery. Most specifically in a Republican run state with a long history of gerrymandering and tinkering around with the rolls. Rick Perry, as it was determined by the Supreme Court, in the very recent past got his hand slapped for signing a law that was specifically written to discriminate against minority voters. I'm not imagining this and it's not all in my head. I subsequently got lectured about being lazy and too stupid to operate Google and basically blamed for everything bad that's ever happened on the planet. Charming.

Secondly, the issue to which you are alluding, is about the patriarchal bullying in American society where a woman can be forced, against her will, to use her ex-husband's name when she has a perfectly good name already. Yes, that is some seriously jacked-up bullshit, I don't like it and it's not even remotely cool. There. Happy now? However, that's not why I brought up the situation.

Thirdly, I can, and will, fix the situation as I see fit. I don't need a bunch of men doing all the hard brain thinking -n- stuff for me. My brain works just fine.
