re: #119 MsJ

I have to do that. I added the “ne” in 4th grade and every single piece of ID, including my passport, has Joanne. Except for social security. I need to legally change my first name, that I’ve used for more than 50 years.

My grandma was born in 1916. Her birth certificate said her name was Madeline de Lima. Her actual name was Rose de Lima Madeline. She actually had to have her younger sister get a note notarized attesting to the fact that her little sister had only ever known her by Rose de Lima Madeline. Oh, and my grandfather’s birth certificate said Morris and it was actually Maurice. And he added the “O-apostrophe” to our last name. Weirdly, he didn’t have any problems.

So yeah, people who make the claim that it’s super easy for elderly folks to get all the required documentation to vote can suck it!
