Yet I can update my drivers license online easily without printing a form… It’s almost like they are trying to make changing voter registration difficult for some reason…
It ticks me off when I run into the occasional business that want me to FAX something to them… I take a picture of the document with my mobile phone and email it to them…
did you guys ever see the viral video where some dad connected a rotary dial phone to a phone line in his kitchen and all the teens at his house that day tried to make a call. not a single one could figure it out. they all dialed the number before picking up the handset. it was hilarious.
When I was working on my master’s in education around 2006, I worked in the main office for my department. We held 2-3 big events each year that brought hundreds/thousands of teachers and students to our campus. We still faxed out all the information to the hundreds of schools we contacted to participate. And let me tell you-faxing them info, and folding informational letters and stuffing envelopes in 2006 was a complete and total waste of time, especially on the ancient printing press of a copier/fax machine we had that broke if you looked at it funny.
I always pressed my immediate supervisor/adviser about why we weren’t doing all of wholly using online registration and e-mail, ESPECIALLY given how tech savvy he was. He kept insisting that there enough dinosaurs out there who still wouldn’t get the info if we didn’t do it that way. He finally caved about a year after I left and went full digital.
When fax machines first came out, yes I’m that old, the fax salesman brought one to the office I was working at and trained the office manager how to use it. He had her put the paper in it, dial the number and press send. She was befuddled. The paper simply went from the input tray to the output tray. That confused her and she thought it didn’t work.
You are not registered…you have informed the government that you meet all the requirements to be registered to vote. That, of course, is only if you actually do, since they are going to ask you to provide those documents at the point where you actually attempt to register.
That, for those keeping score, does not equal actually being registered.
