I haven't been able to vote yet.

I tried to vote. I got a nice confirmation letter that because I didn't update my address until after 9/30, I couldn't vote at the polling place down the road - I'd have to go to my old precinct in Dublin.

I got up early. I went over. I stood in line.

And then I was told that the letter was wrong, and that I would have to go to Hilliard and cast a provisional ballot.

Unfortunately, because of traffic this morning, I had the choice of going to try and vote again, or getting to work on time, so I'll run out at lunch and try this again.

I was not the only person with this problem, at least. I was told by the poll workers that 4 other people had come in with the exact same problem - one even brought his printout from the board of elections webpage saying that he was supposed to vote in Dublin.

Cute, huh?

Ohio Voter Fraud (on their part)
or if you prefer
Republicans are desperate.

Well, we'll see what happens in about 2 hours. If I'm able to vote there, we're fine.

If not, I'm making some phone calls.

If you don't mind me asking, what party are you registered?

Unaffiliated - lets me vote in both Primaries if I choose to.

Lucky you... PA has party only primary laws.

I can't vote in primaries for that reason (registered Libertarian).

Actually, (I just learned this this year) in Ohio we are not really registered with a party. Each primary we have to verbally declare which ballot we want. So although one may have a consistent record of voting Democrat or Republican they are not really registered as such. I have a friend running for office who explained it much more eloquently and with the correct terms but that's the gist of it:)

Ahh, interesting. I usually just put independent or unaffiliated on my forms, so I figured it got recorded somewhere.

I know the frustration. This year, AGAIN, my absentee ballot has outright failed to arrive. This is getting quite irritating.

Cute!

Sorry, man.
