A notice from Storey County reminded me that I did not update my mailing address last year, so the USPS kicked back my Primary Election ballot.
Updating was easy via Nevada's voter page.
I did make one other change: Democratic Party from nonpartisan voter. Major emotional trauma.
When I registered to vote the first time, Richard Nixon was president. I attended a news conference he held a couple years earlier in Reno and the man looked deeply unhappy. I could not make myself register as a member of the political party he led. But I also could not become a Democrat, because LBJ started the process of sending my high-school classmates to die in that festering cesspool of Southeast Asia. Nixon's lies were even worse.
Today, I am a registered Democrat. Take that, DJT.
