Travis county only mails the registration card when you first register or change address. OTW I get a new one in the mail every so many years (feels like its 5 years or so between new cards).KD5NRH wrote:I don't know about other registrars' methods, but my registration card is mailed to me, so wouldn't that count by itself?srothstein wrote:But the easy way for the Democrats to compromise and make the bill work is to add one clause to it. The bill already is written to accept mail addressed to the voter from a government agency as one of the alternative IDs. So, add a clause saying the voter registrar (whoever it is in each county) must mail each registered voter a letter notifying him of the election within 30 days before the absentee voting begins. This way, we insure that all registered voters can meet the requriements and we also ensure everyone is told about the election coming up. It might actually help get some turnout in lesser elections.

Re: MOVING FROM GENERAL CALENDAR TO 'MAJOR' CALENDAR??
I'm trying to understand how this works.
I am looking at the calendar for today, which has a heading
******** MAJOR STATE CALENDAR ********
SENATE BILLS
SECOND READING
and SB 730 is number 8 on the list. The first bill on the list is SB 362, the voter ID bill. Does this mean we succeeded in getting SB 730 moved off the General Calendar to the Major Calendar. When did that happen?
Does this mean they will get to it?
Is there then one more reading and then floor debate and vote on these bills?
