consider the following: "To the Responsible Parties:
I am writing to inform you of potential violations pursuant, but ****t limited, to *) my right to decline to register to vote, and *) the disclosure and dissemination of my personal information without consent.
On October 6th, *, I renewed my driver’s license online. While completing this renewal form, I was prompted with the question “Would you like to register to vote?”. I selected “No, I do ****t want to register to vote”. I was registered to vote on October 7th, *, despite my clear declination (i.e., opt-out).
Attached to this form of correspondence are two PDFs. The first attachment, “DMV License Renewal Form”, is a receipt obtained from The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”) confirming the successful renewal of my driver’s license on October 6th, *. This receipt confirms my declination selection to register to vote. The second attachment, “Voter Information Inquiry”, is a document obtained from Westport’s Registrar of Voters office. This document confirms my driver’s license renewal from the DMV was used to register me to vote.
I find these events highly offensive and request your office to investigate this incident. Please confirm receipt of this correspondence within 15 days.
Respectfully,
"
