I moved to Texas about a year ago. I went with my husband to get a drivers license. I was told to bring a birth certificate, which I did. When I got to the office I was told I had to have my marriage certificate. So I went back home and got my certificate which luckily I had unpacked and went back to the office. Waited in line for an hour when I fianlly got to the counter I was told I needed to have my divorce decree with me so they could prove who I was. I went back home and got the paper and brought it back and finally got my license.
“I went back home and got the paper and brought it back and finally got my license.”
You had to have three documents to prove who you were. That means you couldn’t sign your name as Goldilocks and the Three Bears - darn.
People also don’t understand how a person signs up to get on a county voter list. They seem to think illegal aliens can sign up with no problem. No, they have to provide credible ID AND their names (at least in Texas), go to our state secretary of state’s office, the elections division, to be determined if that person is a citizen of this country. If they aren’t, their name doesn’t go on the official voter list. If they are, the SOS tells the county to put their name on the list as they are a citizen.
You were white, I suppose, but mostly, you were obviously an American. Which made you suspect.
