Voters turned away at Union Township
‘Printing glitch’ to blame

By Abbey Doyle
The Herald Bulletin

ANDERSON, Ind. — A “printing glitch” has caused some problems for some Union Township voters early Tuesday morning.

A voter reported being turned away early Tuesday after being told she, along with everyone else in Union Township’s Precinct 2, had already voted absentee.

Barbara Hutton, Republican chair of the Madison County Election Board, said the precinct must have received the wrong list due to a “printing glitch” from the voter registration office but that problem had been “ironed out.”

“What (election officials at the precinct) need to do is compare the voting list to the absentee list to see who has and hasn’t voted absentee,” she said. “If you know you have not voted absentee then you should be able to vote.”

When we went into the boothes and pulled levers and the elderly had to go through books with rulers, we heard a lot less about these kinds of issues.

THIS is how they steal your vote, and entire elections - disenfranchisement, limited voting, gerrymandering, propaganda and on, and on, and on.....

Add to that the complete incompetence of many of these people, and it's a nightmare.

All these reports about Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Florida....long lines, voter suppression, abductions, new untested software, software "glitches"....

Why the hell are we putting up with this terrorism from the republican fanatics? These people are terrorists. Their whole agenda is to strike terror into the hearts of innocent Americans. Someone has to stop this shit.

Nov 2012

When going to pick up my mail a worker in my condominium advised me that her best friend was turned away in Norfolk, VA, after being advised that she had already voted absentee and she did not request absentee ballot. She was turned away. She is African-American. It is apparently a wide-spread problem.

Does any one know the best place to report these occurrences? I'd like to report it to someone who is tallying these events, even if via third person knowledge.

ALSO, just found this in another post:

"The Obama Campaign Voter Hotline: 1-800-311-VOTE (8683)"

I'm just posting this up again, for anyone to issue in cases of problems.

(Edit! Holy crap...there WAS a typo in one of the numbers...corrected)
