The mailing clearly indicates that the deadline to register to vote by mail for a particular election in West Virginia is 20 days before the election ... We hope that this unfortunate coincidence in timing does not lead to any confusion or aggravation for either your state's voters or registrars.

Methinks someone doth protest too much.
Whoever would be confused by a voter registration letter into thinking that they need to re-register, though they are already registered and they have not moved, is probably too stupid to be voting. It would be akin to being confused into not affixing a stamp on an envelope because there is, stupidly, a pre-printed stamp-shaped box in the upper right-hand corner that reads:
Place
Stamp
Here
But if the Democratic party knows what's good for them...a matter of considerable doubt...it SHOULD be conducting a full-court press for the incredibly large voting block that is comprised of single women.
Here's where I'M confused.
When I voted in the California primary, there were people registering on the spot. Were they voting as well, or were they not?
The deadline to vote BY MAIL in Tuesday's primary is 20 days before the primary election, but what about in person?
I would also draw attention to the fiscal folly. Who is failing to cross-reference whatever mailing list held the names of single women with the Democratic party mailing list. Note the recklessness of paper, printing, ink, envelope, postage and delivery costs in sending voter registration materials to voters, albeit women, who are already registered.
Bureaucratic Bullshit, thy name is Politics As Usual.
Clear as mud, thy name is Democratic Party.
