I am a Registered Voter in the Commonwealth of Virginia

Last week I tried to register to vote and had some trouble. I still have my WV Driver license because I had to send for a birth certificate in order to change it. (Courtesy of the American Saga with illegal immigrates or maybe it's the terrorist threats).

When I presented my WV Driver License, I was told that I may not be able to register unless I can provide proof of a PERMANENT resident.

I haven't had a PERMANENT resident in over a year and I am not sure that I want one. Last year, I resided in Texas, Nevada, Arkansas, West Virginia and finally Virginia.

I have made a personal committment to in Virginia for six months until I can transfer someplace else with my job at WallyWorld.

That is about as permanent as I want to get. Needless to say, no matter what State I live in, I am STILL a United States Citizen and I want to vote. After a call to the Virginia Senator and an e-mail to the Virginia Governor, I am now registered to vote in Virginia.

I will be able to vote in Virginia Tuesday after Super Tuesday Primary Election. Yeah!

Yesterday, I also looked at an Apartment in Clifton Forge. So technically, I will be a Virginia Permanent Resident for awhile anyway.

I find it interesting that my 68 year old ex-hubby's 34 year old druggie girlfriend comes from Clifton Forge. She has moved to West Virginia and I am moving from West Virginia to Clifton Forge. Yippee!!! It's closer to Lexington which totally awesome and Charlottesville which is an absolute Mecca.

    Quoting rdhintucson:
    I had more difficulty in Virginia registering for everything than I have ever had in any other state. Haven't a clue as to why, but apparently that is the way things are done there. Good luck!
when I was a caseload worker in California - I often helped the clients including the homeless ones register to vote. If a person is homeless, I would describe where they live.

Under the Main Street Bride in Ventura or The Third Bush in the Railroad Yard off of Pierpont Avenue.

It was surprising how many of them registered REPUBLICAN

I called the Virginia Election Board and asked "How do homeless folks vote?" The Reply I got was that "They don't vote!" This is one situation that the ACLU could have a field day with.

Your life is truly a journey and in many ways enviable! Yesterday would have been my 39th Wedding anniversary and in April I will have lived here 40 years, 31 years in the same home, so I am a "Permenent" resident! I look forward to more travel though now and think at least a year on the road when I retire might be fun!
