"Yes, I am, thanks. And thank you so much for registering new voters. That's a very important thing to do."

That's what I would have said to that "kid," who is doing everyone an important service. Why are you pissed of at the young person who is actively registering voters? I don't get it.

(I still haven't managed to register anyone, but that is besides the point)

One thing they should ask, "Do you need to update your address"?

My son had to quickly change his address just prior to last fall's election.
If it hadn't been some prodding from Mom, his polling location would have been 200 miles away.
