lunabee34I early voted today for Stacey Abrams.
I have never been nervous voting ever, but I was nervous today because my address on my driver's license and the address on my voter registration card don't match. When we moved, I updated my voter registration, but my driver's license doesn't expire until 2021, so I didn't want to pay to get another one. The whole reason I voted early instead of waiting for Election Day is that I was worried I'd get to the poll and be rejected because they're not an exact match. If it was going to be a problem, I wanted time to deal with it.
But fortunately, I was able to vote and nobody blinked an eye. I was still so anxious, though; like I double-checked my license every time I had to sign anything to be sure my signature was matching the one on my license (I had to go two places to vote: one place for local city elections and another for state/county elections).
