My voter registration name keeps getting changed/misspelled. Should I complain to the state or my county clerk?
I have a slightly unusual last name, leading to people assuming they know how to spell it better than I do. I have already fixed my registered name once this year and I just received a new voter...
I have a slightly unusual last name, leading to people assuming they know how to spell it better than I do. I have already fixed my registered name once this year and I just received a new voter registration card...and it had the old spelling. I checked my registration online and the spelling has reverted in the state database too. Whose fault is this and WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE MANUALLY ENTER/EDIT NAMES THAT USERS ENTER INTO COMPUTER SYSTEMS? WHY IS THIS A THING?? WHY DO I GET SO MUCH MAIL WITH MY NAME MISSPELLED??? JUST SPELL IT THE WAY I ENTERED IT INTO YOUR SYSTEM, YOU JACKASSES.

You're running for office on a somewhat petty, yet univerally-understood single issue. What is it?
Imagine that on the campaign posters, it will say your name and then this policy. For example: Vote for <your username> ... Rain boots for everyone. (No American / Englishman / Indian / etc....
Imagine that on the campaign posters, it will say your name and then this policy. For example:
Vote for <your username> ...
- Rain boots for everyone. (No American / Englishman / Indian / etc. should have soggy socks.)
- A Speedy DMV. (It should take 10 minutes to renew your license at the DMV.)
- Rice in every restaurant. (Rice is good with everything. At least some Asian KFCs will serve fried chicken with rice!)
It should resonate deeply with people, without the expectation that it should solve any of the deeper problems in life.
