Helen,<div><br></div><div>The story of your middle name / initial mixup made me wonder how exact the new law demands that ID conform to your registered name. For those wondering the same thing, there does seem to be a degree of latitude and discretion allowed. Lets hope all of the poll workers have been versed on this. See attached for details. </div>

<br>I nearly had a coronary the first time I inputted my information to make sure I was registered; following the form&#39;s instructions, I put in my full middle name.  No dice - it said I was not listed in the registry.  (Ack!)  When I tried again and just used my middle initial, it verified my registration.  <br>
