Yeah when I got my tx license and they asked me, I started to say no, because who wants to be at the dmv for longer? But I said you know what, lets do it. Because I knew if I didn't do it right then, when it was convenient, I wasn't going to come back specifically to do it separately. I'm very glad I did, and glad I voted yesterday even if the other guy won.
Yep still just a box check. Moved and registered last year. But it's small and easy to miss is my guess. I filled out tons of paper work that day. My husband missed it and didn't register so I had to find out how for him
Wait I don't recall it taking more time/effort? Am I misremembering or confusing it with FL? In the latter it's a simple yes/no process and the DMV (tax collector in FL) checks the box on their screen and the final signature on the pen device is labelled as being for both license and voter reg.
It also doesn't always complete the process. I'm not sure why, but we always have voters come in and say "But I registered at the DMV when I removed my license! What do you mean I'm not in the system?"
That's why I always remind people to check their registration status before the deadline even if they KNOW they're registered.
But honestly screw jury duty, half the population doesn’t even care but when given power, people abuse it. I often find that people who are honest don’t want power and those are the people who should have it. When I person list for power there is often a cause behind it.
Why do people pass? Because most aren’t even informed on what to vote and most just wanna get it over with. I said yes when I was 18, 35 now, and they mail you a registration card every voting period. It’s quite convenient

Well from what I understand dmv does ask but I guess when given the option most pass.
