You clearly misread it - that's OK to admit, dude.
That is why I asked him for clarification

That's what I get for responding to shyte after midnite....




Bottom line the idea for such a bill is a total waste.

Poll workers are not paid enough to know how to pronounce someone's name.

Hell, most people can't even pronounce NOR spell my last name correctly, as long as they can match my ID up to my voting records should be sufficient.

I would be insulted as all hell if someone asked me to change my last name so THEY could understand it.

Yeah, the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. It's surprising the woman even felt it was OK to introduce the concept in public - even racists know that they're not supposed to be about that in public.

Damn not another dumb ass Texan!!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what these poll workers have to do, but isn't it just a matter of typing the name verbatim as it is on the voter registration card?

But I do agree that everyone should be required to use the same name on all documentation, if you're going to assimilate, go all the way...
