There is a legitimate need to make sure people live in the district and vote only once. What the fuck more do you want?

Don't have a bill yet? Use your lease. Or your deed. Or a college record. Anything. If you have none of these, you're not a resident. And if it's all just too hard to figure out, there's a nice lady at the DMV who will wet nurse you through the whole process of filling out the form.

I seriously don't know what else we can do to help you people.

From the Virginia voter registration form, any ONE of the following documents is required to register to vote:

(1) current and valid photo ID
(2) current utility bill
(3) bank statement
(4) government check
(5) paycheck
(6) other government document

So your utility bill would have been fine.

The document also states that the Voter ID card itself is adequate identification on election day. So you and everybody else complaining about this is full of shit.

Go lo-tech and read the paper or your mail (not email). Otherwise, you can probably just call and talk to them. At my last local election, the candidates for the board of supervisors were at the polling station ready to talk to people. That's a welcome difference from the national elections where we're basically nameless sheep to all the candidates.

What has surprised me is the elections for the county school board. Most of the board runs uncontested every time. If you have kids or own property, they have a lot more to do with your life than whatever republicrat makes it into the white house.

Your less dedicated peers are probably making more than you. Who told you otherwise? Your boss?

Then be less productive. Go home early. Enjoy life. Retire on a pension.

When I'm 6-10 times more productive as my peers, nobody really cares.

Funny how New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is suspending taxes and regulation to get gas flowing into NYC. The best thing the government can do to get the economy moving is to stay out of it.

For me!

Not trying to troll, but is there anything the average city dweller can actually do to help repair the infrastructure? Standing in line and out the way might be the best thing for a lot of them.
