Funnily enough, it wasn’t complicated at all for me to register to vote in the state of North Carolina. I’ll never forget it.
I turned 18, I went down to the DMV to get my motorcycle permit along with updating my teen provisional license for an adult license. I passed the simple little tests, the DMV worker asked me height, weight, eye color, hair color, address. At the time, NC licenses could have one of several state themed backgrounds; the silhouette of the state, the state seal, the Hatteras lighthouse, the Wright flyer, I picked the plane. Want to be an organ donor? Sure. And the next thing she said to me is seared into my brain:
“Okay, we’ll just register you for Selective Service…Would you like to register to vote?”
So here’s what you do to register to vote in the state of North Carolina. When a woman in a weird half-cop uniform working at the DMV asks you if you wanna, you say “Y-Yeah.” and “Which party?” Say “Uhh. Independent?”
I’ve voted in every election, maybe not every primary but every election, since that day.

…two questions, are you white, are you male…
Yes, and you know I am, they signed me up for the draft.
…they won’t take you, you’re white…
Why is there a party affiliation at registering?
