Thanks for your intervention.

As I got my driver's license one time (around 8 years ago), an officer was keeping the line "in order". He asked each person if they were registered.

One woman said no, and he told her about motor voter and how she could fill out the information... He then said you'd better fill it out "Democrat" and tapped on his holstered gun while he smirked.

I do not feel that his threat was genuine but do find it to be a gross abuse of power and have told this story several times (including the next day to co-workers who were not impressed/shocked).

wow. I recently moved, and was re registered to vote in the new state when I got my license and reg. But no intimidation, it was just part of the state to state change. Here it's done right along with the motor vehicle changes.
