We live in Sacramento County CA, My husband has been registered as decline to state since we moved here in 2006. Votes regularly. We are Bernie supporters and have donated. Reading about the problems regarding folks registration being changed — I talked the hubs into re-registering as a Democrat just to be safe.
I had checked his registration a few times after the AZ debacle and he was shown as registered. Sacramento County search does not display your affiliation, another reason to re-register after hearing stories of D’s being flipped to R. Filled out the form on 3/31. Checked his status that morning as frankly, I was thinking I was becoming paranoid — he was still registered. Made a color copy of the form and stapled it to the receipt. It was mailed 4/1 — I drove it to the post office in Rio Vista.
So I go online tonight — he is NOT registered to vote. I am seething. Will be calling in the morning. IDGAF at this point what they say — We are driving to Sacramento and making sure he is registered D IN PERSON!
I guess the bottom line is — here in CA you have until 5/23 to re-register. You should probably do it in person.
What’s that saying?? It does not matter who votes but who counts the votes?
This is my first DK5 diary. Cannot find a preview thingy. So I’ll just apologize in advance for what this may look like.

Good news! Sacramento county website is broken. Would have been nice if they posted that. He re-registration has not been processed yet. The nice gal I talked to said they have been overwhelmed with registrations!
