Update on my voter registration snafu

[CoffeeCat]

163. Yes, this is all hilarious to some

and I did my best to recollect the information. I literally hung up the phone with the auditor and posted the information here--that I was never switched back from an R to a D.

I knew that would definitely call into question what I did or didn't do--but I felt it was important to include the information--and not leave out what the auditor had told me about my status never reverting back to D.

I tried to recall when I switched and I knew it was immediately after an election. I assumed wrongly that it was right after the Republican primary caucus that I participated in. I didn't know that I had it wrong until I saw the DU posts that others have dug up. I barely remember those posts, but of course--I do remember the Romney campaign calling our house. I had to have been a registered R then.

I feel terrible that I got this wrong, but I did not intentionally lie. I must have switched back after the GE. That was the election that I was remembering.

It is clear though that major snafus happened. I never got switched from an R back to a D--even though I physically went to the auditor's office. I participated in the recent Feb 1 Iowa Democratic caucuses and registered there as a Dem. That paperwork was never received by the auditor's office. My husband filled out the same paperwork, and his wasn't received either. I also participated as a Bernie delegate at our County Convention on March 12 and had to have been a Democrat then.

I am still sorting all of this out in real time. I am doing my best.
