How does the registration work with weird state requirements? For instance, Indiana requires a "wet" signature, unless through the specially-exempted indianavoters.in.gov form.

I tried to go through both voteplz.org and vote.org to see if it would end up directing me to indianavoters.in.gov, but:

When I entered my address, VotePlz told me "Uh oh! Looks like something went wrong with our codez." (in a pop-up over a message telling me that it wasn't a valid residential address).

When I hit "continue" after entering my basic information, vote.org told me "The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to."




Ah! Sorry about the errors, we're actively fixing them and scaling up.

We mail you a pre-filled and pre-addressed registration form with return postage already on it. All you have to do is sign the form and drop it back into the mail to get registered.

When we first started, our initial goal was to actually only focus on states that require things like wet signatures because we didn't see too many options that made it dead simple.
