That said, today I am frustrated again by reaction due to going by my given name, which is Starhttps://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/740299046410063872 …
The CA voter registration office unilaterally decided it isn't my legal first name. I am registered to vote by my middle name now instead.

Of course this doesn't match the cross-reference. So I have a letter today that I have to show ID to match this name. It won't work.

Look, if you have a system where you ask someone what their name is, like, c'mon, take their word for it.

Hey
@SFElections. Can you look into this & ensure people in your office use the names people provide on their reg forms? -
sounds like it's
@alexpadilla4ca's problem, not@SFElections. -
Registration is done locally, IIRC.

Hmm which party would it affect more if people whose names aren't in the Bible or Shakespeare get hassled when voting?
-
I'm pretty sure "Star" shows up more than once in both Shakespeare *and* the Bible. "Erin" on the other hand...

this isn’t a minor annoyance, its disenfranchisement of voters who have non-white names
